Hi again,
This is the last word from the game I'm unsure of.
Cipher is a character that has paranormal psychic abilities which allows him not only to contact spirit world, but influence it as well.
Although it is clear what a cipher does in the game, I'm not sure what is the story behind this word. The closest meaning I found in regards to a real person is:
"[ C ] formal disapproving a person or group of people without power, but used by others for their own purposes, or someone who is not important:
The interim government is a mere cipher for military rule. [Cambridge dictionary]"
However it does not make a sense when you think about it as of a profession. Was this phrase coined only for the game purposes or it does sounds logical after all?
