Behind the scenes

The spell's Japanese name is "Forg". It is likely a shortened form of "forget" (フォーゲット, fōgetto?) to follow the Japanese naming scheme for spells. The use of グ (gu?) instead of ゲ (ge?) could be just so the word is a transliteration of the first four letters of "forget" (グ (gu?) is used for English ending-G sounds), or it could be an intentional pun on the word "fog" (フォグ, fogu?) in reference to "feeling foggy".
