I have no idea what this app is like, but it looks right.

This also looks good, and has an ad-supported free version.

What is the name of the audio operation which would increase the difference between the louder and quieter points in a track, so that the louder ones stand out more?  Like, map the old volume of each frame to the x-value of a fairly soft logarithmic curve, and get the new volume from the y-value, or something like that.

You want to increase volume dynamics, so it's either decompression or, in Audacity, the Expander tool.

this is called a fullwidth font

i do not recommend you use it, it pisses off people with browser issues

i have a keyboard which types in it /exclusivfely/ for some goddamn reason but if you really want to use fullwidth natively, you can download google’s japanese ime

it has that

also

My adventurer just died to a 1HKO, and it was a boring old night creature who killed him. >:(

Was it a dramatic and/or glorious OHKO, or the boring normal kind?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I'm trying to come up with schools of magic for a mini-project I'm working on.  I've got them all, but I was wondering if there are better names for them.

1)  Plant magic.  So far I've come up with "Druidics", but that sounds a bit weird.
2)  Magic that transforms/enhances the user.  I'm using "Transformations", but it sounds a bit too close to "Transmutations", which I'm also using.

Any better ideas?

First, druids were basically astrologers, so tying druidism to plants is somewhat wrong.
1) Stegreenics Greenerifics Photosyntetic?
2) TransEgo (bleh)

Take a random Latin/Greek word related to what you're trying to call it, cutting down as necessary, and dump another one denoting 'magic' or 'knowledge' or whatever, don't give a single fuck about keeping the language consistent. That's how most of the traditional names were made ('Television' anyone?).

1: Phytomancy, Botanology (the latter sounds a bit silly though)
2: Ikanology, Dynatomancy, Allagology.

The latter sounds just like what you'd find in the Self-Help section of a Magic bookstore.

Phytokinetic sounds kinda' interesting as well for the first, to go with scrdest's suggestion.

As for the second, F/SN uses "Reinforcement," iirc. M'pretty fond of it, myself, but from the source stuff that outright transforms the user would be outside its purview. Not that that means anything in an original setting so *shrog*

Fleshweaving, sure. Skinweaving if you're looking for something with a bit more edge to it. Stuff along those lines. Pretty sure I've seen something like that a few times, even beyond the dune-whatsit of similar intent.

Fleshweaving ain't bad, although it kinda sounds like something you'd do to someone else.   :P

For the plant magic thing, how does Arbormancy sound?  Eh, I'm not sure I like that either.   :-\
