+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 ?
+
+Maât
