 :"What a technique does and how to obtain it are the basic points of information about it." - they are also pretty much all there is to say about these abilities, since they have no influence on the plot, and are purely mechanical concepts. Most anything further is waffling.
 :Yes, I am tactless. It helps get people to give up faster on changing my mind.
-:This series is called Kingdom Hearts. It is a crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney. If a spell is called "Firaga", it probably came from the Final Fantasy spell "Firaga", and does not have an informative etymology in Indo-European languages. Yes, it is entirely possible to write about one. No, it doesn't provide anything informative about the spell, since what we want to know is what this thing is based on. I realize that this is not how a professional etymologist would write an article on this, but this is an article about a video game spell based on a Final Fantasy spell, in a wiki about a children's video game.
+:Let me put it this way re:etymology - any explanation of the name's history beyond where it appeared in FF or Disney is completely useless to us. Your complaint, then, boils down to "the header name does not accurately describe the contents". How would you change the header to resolve this problem?
-:You're the one who created a section for "comments and suggestions". I am trying to dissuade any work that will end up being wasted, since it is no good for either of us - you use up all your time writing something that will be left unused, and become bitter, and I have to revert the edit, wasting my time. I am sorry about this, but it is true - by and large, what you've done here will be of no use to the wiki, and criticizing me as a person is not going to change that. You can either address the criticisms of your work, or continue to spend time railing against me, but that's your decision.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 18:14, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
+:EDIT: New critique - the first trivia point is, by its nature, useless. It is weasel-wording (one of some that generally aren't), preventing it from being either informative or worth being the trivia section.
