[off topic]

Short science fiction story. Can't recall author or title.

Post WW3 magic has returned and almost all tech is gone.

Wizard can control anything he knows the true name of, but humans never tell anyone else their true names and animals can't speak.

Finds a book from the Before Times; the book lists all the Latin names of animals.

Now the most powerful mage alive.

    Why is latin the magic language?

    Because that's what the author chose.
