Latin was the lingua franca for the educated western world for centuries. Texts on alchemy, mysticism, and religion were all written in Latin. Church rituals were performed in Latin.
Most magic in fiction has its roots in the past. What language would be more fitting?
I didn't read the article, so I'm guessing it's about how fast the I95 overpass was fixed after the recent collapse.
