There's some ambiguious adjectives. Here's some stuff that the translation could be debated of:

  • reagents in spanish doesn't sound all too good to me, I said catalyst instead.
  • tinkerer I don't know how to translate, google doesn't either. I said controller instead.
  • awakened translates to "despertado" but that doesn't mean quite the same. I left it like that for now, but there's definitely a case to be made for something more akin to imbued or empowered.
  • diviner I translated as the tool the guy in the article is using to divine the location of water https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing. "Divinador" could be used too but I personally prefer "zahorí".
  • slate. I initially thought "tableta" but after looking at some dictionary translations "loja" I think fits better.
  • sigil could go in lots of ways really, I chose the equivalent of the english word sign.
  • blood letter's backpack. To bloodlet in spanish is "hacer una sangria". I have no clue what to translate blood letter's backpack to though.

A lot of these assumptions are good. "Sigil" is more of some sort of symbol, as in "I wrote a sigil of power in the ground".

This line seems to be the same as the English translation

Yeah, I was told not to touch stuff that had weird symbols in it. I should have just deleted it.

The single characters prefixed with a % (only s in this case) are for string replacements. The ones prefixed by & are for Minecraft formatting codes for colors and such.

Since these are Latin names, they shouldn't get translated. They also don't need entribs in here

I didn't touch any but aether, since that one has a proper translation in spanish (éter). Makes sense though, I'll remove the stuff that is not changed that I left in the pull request by mistake.

I think raw in this context means pure? I'm not quite sure so I didn't change those yet. Tiled refers to tiles, like in a bathroom? I'd like clarification on that too. Blood Letter I haven't found a translation for yet. The act of bloodletting I know, but not the profession. As for draft of Angelus, is draft there a draft of wind or draft as in a rough draft?

Regarding the sigil stuff: the translations I can think of are the equivalent of sigil, symbol and sign. Sigil would obviously be more precise but the word is more old fashioned and out of use. I don't know if you have a particular preference either way but I prefer it as it is right now.

New issues arise: not entirely sure what small in "Raw Small Stone Brick Wall" refers to. No clue at all what a swiffer is. Not very sure if there's a way to translate the joke "I am very close to being moved by this". Don't know if I should try to come up with it or to take one of the double meanings (and if so, which one).

Regarding the sigil stuff: the translations I can think of are the equivalent of sigil, symbol and sign. Sigil would obviously be more precise but the word is more old fashioned and out of use. I don't know if you have a particular preference either way but I prefer it as it is right now.

Raw means impure, like uncooked food is raw.
Yes, tiled refers to tiles.
Blood Letter isn't a profession, just describing the fact you are letting blood when you use this.
Draft refers to a drink, like a draft of beer.
The "Small" refers to the size of the stone bricks in the wall.
Swiffer is a type of broom that picks up dust, it's a brand-name thing.
You can take the movement meaning for this joke if it isn't translatable.
Sigil is old-fashioned in english as well, so it may be best to use the old fashioned translation. If that doesn't work, go for symbol.
