I think you're confusing something. The term Sperethiel doesn't appear at
all on Tolkien's literature. Another fantasy-Tolkien stereotype: If a word
has somewhere a "th", or "ch", or ends in "iel"; then it is
elvish.

Eventhough Shadowrun has the basic elements of a fantasy stereotyped based
RPG, I love it because the setting is completely different, and therefore
innovative. But I think developers should try to make things less alike
than other products to maintain some kind originality.
