Reply to comment by ehhdjdmebshsmajsjssn in [WP] In a modern fantasy world, fantasy races -including dragons are integrated into society. When dragons are born, they are forced into a human form until they are mature enough to break the spell. You are top of your class, older than the others and still can't break it. Today you find out why. by lordhelmos

I mean, I deliberated spelled it with an 'i' to avoid the Pokemon reference, as that wasn't my intention. Though, I suppose I couldn't avoid it after all.

Not my fault that I'd want to use a term (i.e. glacial) associated with cold/ice as a name for a type of ice spirit.

Glacian would have likely been better for both avoiding the Pokémon reference and from an etymological standpoint.

In retrospect reading this comment, I completely agree.

Changing one letter and keeping the same pronunciation isn’t much of a way to change the reference lol

I had intended it pronounced with a hard -k sound (e.g. Glock-ee-on, rather than Glace-ee-on) but yeah, I guess not, especially given that that doesn't really translate in text.
