Oh interesting I was actually never aware that was a traditional phrase (other than being in the original ITL book). It does make some sense then as other traditional phrases are used like physicker rather than physician.

P.S. Another reason I chose the word Target was so it still started with a "T" that way it seems close to the original and you still have the letters [M,T,C,S] for the different types of spells.
