So, what's the difference between Omniscient Database and Magical Database? Apparently nothing, if you go by their Laconic pages.

There's a pattern, though. Omniscient has more actually criminological examples and Magical is mostly about supernatural repositories of knowledge in general.

They were the same trope, but split off from each other, I believe.

The duplicate laconic is just an artifact of that. They're completely different tropes, as you can see from the description.

Magical Database is a compendium in some form or another that has all the information on things that go bump in the night.

Omniscient Database is more of a Magical Computer-type database where police can basically Google anything they need.

EDIT: Fixed Magical Database's laconic with the Laconic of its YKTTW. Is there anything else we need to do?

No, this was a clear case of crap laconic. Thanks for fixing it. I'll lock this up.
