Hi,

Perhaps something very simple can fit :

As many magic potions use roots as base ingredients mixed with many
ph34rsome others we could just use "root" or "root" :)

The magic part with that would be obvious :)

This would also be an allusion to linux superadmin account name

But also "root" would be the base on which several stable branches
rely... a nourishing base like roots bring sap to branches in trees...
so also a symbol of life and vigour...

(Tree symbology is also very important in white magic)

This is short... i hope this is not and insult in the 6000 known
languages in the universe and while this is used in every Unix, BSD and
Linuxes i think nobody use it as a name yet...

How about that ?
