Atrelin, the Arcane Committee.

"What do you all think of this matter?"

In an elegantly decorated small conference room, the legendary mage Antonia waved his hand. Several screens of light created by "Projection" appeared, listing Roland and Gallo's recent competing research efforts.

As outstanding young talents who attracted widespread attention, both had people specifically assigned to record and organize their public activities.

Especially matters concerning the arcane world.

"Did they both independently choose 'Yellow Millet Dream'?

"As exploratory arcane achievements, both projects qualify to receive names as fully developed spells. By convention, we should hold a hearing for the committee members to discuss the matter and deliver a ruling..."

"But that is precisely the problem. If things really reach that stage, someone will inevitably be forced to relinquish the name...

"To carry out perfectly good research, only to lose even the name originally planned for it, would surely dampen their enthusiasm."

"If one party were maliciously trying to register it first to ride the other's popularity, that would be one thing. But Gallo began this research first, and his original concept fit the name perfectly.

"And although Roland started a little later, he is the creator of Seris. Within that language, he was the one who established the etymology and associated allusion of 'Yellow Millet Dream' in the first place.

"He naturally has the right to use that term for a project as well."

"Then why not have each of them compromise and attach their own name to it?

"Something like 'Roland's Yellow Millet Dream' and 'Gallo's Yellow Millet Dream.' That would also follow the conventions of the arcane world."

"But how is that any different from ordering them to change the name? They are both geniuses of the arcane world. They might not be willing to do that."
