Track 1, everywhere else calls her Arusu not Arus, I know the cover mentions it but it also called Sheila (Shira) Seir. So not really the best convention to use.

Track 6, is normally called the True Book of Spells http://www.amazon.com/Tweeny-Witches...7169992&sr=8-3

Track 11, seems to be Atelia not Ateria http://www.amazon.com/Tweeny-Witches.../ref=pd_cp_d_1

Track 18 and 24, seem to be warlock not wizard or demon http://www.amazon.com/Tweeny-Witches.../ref=pd_cp_d_2

Not the greatest argument for edits I know.

That's a lot better. I'm not too picky with translations but I didn't understand the rationale behind the changes.

"True Book of Spells" or such in JP is "真の魔導書", while track 6 is "魔導書", so it's not exactly the same. I guess just "Book of Spells" is ok.

18 literally says "Wizard Kingdom" and the US wiki uses "wizards". I guess the US DVDs changed it to "warlocks"?
24 Uses 魔族 (demons, demon race), different word than "wizard". Was it translated to "warlocks" too?

Arusu I guess the US version used that so ok. Atelia too.

Well from what I know and remember of the series the True book of spells was a center point for it.

The warlocks have from what I remember always been the way it was translated. The wikia and wiki seems to use each other as the template that is why wizards is mentioned I think, since even anime news network for the cast of the series mentioned warlock cavalry

The demon/warlock thing is something I am stuck on. Being the warlocks invaded the witches and thus a warlock army or soldier makes sense, and there were multiple times they came in the series, however I think someone in the series was a demon in disguise trying to destroy everything not sure if he raised an army though.

For 06 seems episode 6 is named just "魔導書" in JP and "The Book of Spells" in the US dvds so it should be correct now.

18, even if they used warlock, I think the reference is clear (ie.- pretend 'wizard kingdom' is just the name of the track, that refers to the "warlock realm" or such).

24 I changed to Demon Soldier that should make it a clearer reference to this disguised demon character (can't remember the name).
