As such, I personally see nothing wrong with the term.

Card Regina
- There's a reason I translated カードレジーナ as Card Regina. The 7* Card is called Card Fante, Fante being the Italian word for the knave or jack found on playing cards. Regina is the queen. I think it's safe to assume Sega have gone with a playing card theme here, and I'd be willing to bet the 9* Card is called something like カードレ or カードレックス, as Rex is the latin for King and Re is the Italian. - Mewn 09:55, 28 September 2007 (BST)

- It makes me wonder what the 9-star GRM wand might be. They seem to have a German theme going, with priest meaning praised and geist meaning spirit. Shelldote I'm sure has a related meaning, but I haven't been able to find anything out, even when trying multiple spellings. XD - EspioKaos 12:40, 28 September 2007 (BST)
