Trying for simple names that don't have too many English spelling
oddities...
* mixer
* blender
* mill
* concert
* harmony
* unity
* mercury (Roman messenger of the gods + fast; see also next line...)
* mercurial (indicates instability and change - perfect for the dev version)
* quicksilver (old/alchemical name for the element mercury)
* "alchemy" might not be great for internationalization with its hard
"ch" sound, but words relating to alchemy...?
* elixir
* transmutation
I also liked "cauldron" or "crucible" (the latter having meanings in
magic and science).
