Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities

I’ll start:

  • Firewall
  • Virtual Memory
  • Single source of truth
  • Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)

Your turn

Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names

    Check bit

    Control character

    Sentinal value

    Escape sequence

    EDIT:

    Git bisect (not sure if this one counts as computer sciency enough though)

          I’m pretty sure Prestidigitation already covers that, especially if you convince the DM not to check.
