notes
- my opinions are not the opinions of the actual development team
- this is not a complete review. I'm just bringing up basic vocab stuff now in case anything depending on it would need to change, and then I'll do a whole look-over
- this is not requested changes: a lot of it is me asking questions to learn or making suggestions based on my own experience. I don't have official localization experience
- a lot of my suggestions are "use Kanji for this" to match the academic/ancient vibe of Hex Casting
- I don't know Japanese Minecraft that well: there could be a place where I suggested kanji where the game uses kana and I am simply wrong about fitting in
- there's a lot of places where の is used between words where imo it could be dropped, like in pigments or 伝承の断片
- in general my opinion is the rarity of the Japanese word should close-to-match the rarity of the English word

No, it’s okay as 鎮静片: I used 片 as short for 欠片.

For splice I would choose something more visceral like 添え木 or 継ぎ目 or 接ぎ木: maybe as a whole, 精神接ぎの杖?

Magic the Gathering (the original reference) uses 精神接合

The English text has no punctuation: should this be the same?

小型 and 大型 would be unifying in this respect

In retrospect, it might be good to be 中くらい, in the same way as name of amethyst buds in Japanese Minecraft: 小さなアメジストの芽, 中くらいのアメジストの芽, and 大きなアメジストの芽.

As before, is this meant to be 鎮静型 or 鎮静済み?

I meant to omit 済み from 鎮静済み.

I think if you wanted to go extra fancy shmancy you could run 明鏡止水 and 支離滅裂 but I'm not at the level where I can suggest that seriously

They look good by themselves, but they seem too fancy compared to the other potion names in Japanese MC.

Is this meant to be I see, it's using 呪文?紋 for wordplay. In that case I wonder if it's ever reasonable to replace パターン with 紋 wholesale.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Replacing only パターン is probably not reasonable, because some other words that tend to be used with it are in kana: アクション, スペル, スタック, and イオタ.

That makes sence. Although, on second thought, it might be good to use 体力のメディア量 like other texts of media amount option, rather than translate this literally.

I changed texts as mentioned in the conversations. Also I changed some other texts that I thought it might be good to change on second thought:
