Salutations Mr. Stroud,
My apologies if I irk you with my randomly obnoxious question. Alright here goes. How did you pick some of the names of the more minor spirits that only show up once or twice in the series, such as Cormocodran, Mwamba, Naeryan, Ramuthra etc.?
Anyway take your time answering as this question is not so very important.

Thanks!

Hi Cormocodran,

Well, I DID take my time, didn't I? Apologies.

Most of these names were plucked out of the ether; i.e. I made them up. Sometimes, as with Mwamba, I tried to give a hint at the background of the spirit in question, since the names they use reflect the societies where they've been most often summoned. Mwamba's spent a fair bit of time in Africa and your namesake in Ireland. Naeryan was a name I didn't make up. It was suggested to me by someone in America, and I thought it sounded good and ancient, so used it for a fairly high level spirit from Bart's past.

All the best,

J
