Neat spell: ビーバク Be Baku (Be Bug)

I named this one "Be a Bug!", and it all fit on one line, but the spell list menu font is FWF, not VWF. That means the three words spread out with what appears wide spacing between them.

I was just thinking... I might 2-Line it, but I would still have two words on one of the lines with the wide spacing appearance.

All of a sudden I got the wild(bill) idea of making it a two-word spell and 2-lining it. That would eliminate the wide spacing appearance, but I thought I should run this one by you three testers first.

So, which is better?

Be a Bug!

or...

Bug
You!

Hee-hee...! Remember, you're speaking to a monster or villain that's tryin' to kill ya!

Could always go for "bug off". :D

Bug off sounds best, but that being said, not even sure why you think the spacing thing is an issue at all. An 8x8 FWF should look like that with spaces. Everyone knows that and it doesn't look out of place. So why is it an issue?

Just bothers me, but other spell casters have the same spacing where two words fit on a single line. This is the only three word spell in the game that fits on one line.

I slightly prefer the way it is. Or even better, "Bebug", in the same vein as say, "bejewel" or "bedazzle". But it's not a big deal either way.

Those are good, too. Still waiting for all the testers to chime in. I liked "Be a Bug", just that gaping in the menu bothers me for some reason. Babu's a more serious type than Poyon or even Kupi, so the spell doesn't necessarily need a humorous name.

I like filler's variant the most, to be honest; "bug off" is probably how I'd phrase it myself, since it's used in Ireland as a less serious expletive, and it's pretty funny in the context in which it would potentially appear in the game. ;)
