Looking for a word-smith

Are you able to come up with the right word to describe any situation? Do you enjoy coming up with words to describe anything?

I'm looking for what I'm calling a word-smith. Basically, I have trouble coming up with that word that has the flair and fun needed to describe things in my game. How this would work is I'd ask for something along the lines of "great words to describe this (beast, character aspect, ability, clockwork, spell)" and you'd send me back any ideas you came up with. At times, we might bounce ideas back and forth.  My game is set in a steam punk setting with heavy roots in traditional fantasy. I'll happily add credits to the book for any help I receive, but I'm not offering pay, sorry. Thank you in advance for any responses.

-Cheers

Isn't this something you could do on the forum, with several people pitching in to help?

I guess I was thinking it'd be more along the lines of somebody who'd become a little more intimate with the project. Also, I wasn't sure if people would start getting tired of "a word for this..." post. hehe

Well, if you get that, fine. Meanwhile, you're still spinning wheels, yes? So....

Maybe, maybe not--but people definitely will get tired of replies that don't take this thread anywhere.
