Background

The word "Klima" is the German equivalent of the word "climate" in English, and is sometimes used in German as "weather" is used in English. "Form" is the German noun for "form" or "shape" in English. Thus, the word Klimaform is roughly translated as "form of the weather" and is a noun by its construction. In the game's context, it is more accurate to assume that it refers to the shaping of weather, which would be written as the infinitive "Klima formen". "Schema" is German for "scheme" (as in a plan) or "design" (as in pattern), both of which are reasonable translations for this spell. Almost everything relating to Scholar has ties to German, including Schultz, Ulbrecht, and Sturm, all of whom have distinctly German names.
