Rust - rusts metal. When miscast, makes the target a crab of some sort

Go - Same as "command" spell

Regular Expression - makes any cryptic message understandable in a language you know

Partition Table - allows any object with at least 2 flat sides to be cut into any shape

• Ring zero
• Bootkit/Rootkit
