Is it legal to use names of skills like "The Goal of All Life is Death" from Overlord, in your own game?
edit for context: Overlord is a light novel with a manga and anime adaptation
While looking my question up online i came across this comment in which they say:
>Any existing assets - images, code, writing, or music - are under copyright and you can not copy them from another game.
>Names are trademarked - your name can not be the same or mistakable for an existing trademarked name.
>Ideas, aesthetics, moods, atmospheres, colours, compositions, mechanics, feelings, inspirations, names, references to secondary works (myths), and pretty much anything else you can think of are not copyrighted.
So does this name of a skill fall under the trademarked name? Or is it just an idea? Because the words: the goal of all life is death, are just normal words arranged in a certain way and I don't think you can trademark that right?
For this one skill it probably wouldn't cause any problems then right? But what is the limit? Is there a certain ratio you would probably best adhere to? Like 50% original self made names and 50% of already existing material?
Because in the end, isn't there always some game or online novel or something that has already used a certain arrangement of words to use as the name of a skill? So as long as all your names for your skills would come from different sources, or at least just not all from 1 source it would be okay?
Would love some advice, thank you!
