Poof.

Ellen: ...I prefer things a bit more picturesque, personally. Explosions don't do it for me.

[Raleigh]

Eh, it gets funny when they try to read the cover of a book on your book shelf and get blown up, then open the book and get blown up, then the bookmark, then the next book, then the draping scroll on your desk, then your bedroom door, then the covers of your bed, and then the box under it.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...So, essentially a chain reaction, then? I suppose I sort of see the appeal...

[Raleigh]

More like they kept reading what was written over and over. They finally learned but only after the fifteenth explosion... when one of them stepped into the restroom and found it was on every single square of the toilet paper.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ... ..."Fifteen"? Sounds more like "two hundred".

[Ebony]

They caught onto what was happening before looking through the rest. Boss was just mentioning what he had done. Took about 20 years for that gag to get used though.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...So if I'm hearing this right, the explosive runes were sensitive to touch, but not necessarily to heat?

[Raleigh]

Sensitive to read.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Must've been quite the gag, then. If they were trying to read toilet paper, they must not have been very bright.

[Raleigh]

Not really no. Bad memory retention too. It was almost unsporting to play with them honestly.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Hmm. In that case, I have a few favors to ask. First off, do you have a blank scroll I can use?

[Raleigh]

Always. *A medium sized scroll appears over one of his hands and then unrolls itself to the other to prove it is blank before passing it to Ellen.*

[AmbushCat]

*Ellen takes the scroll, takes a deep breath, and starts chanting softly. A soft orange glow centers on her shoulder, flows down her arm and onto the scroll, taking the form of a dozen lines of incomprehensible (at least, to Ellen) text and several diagrams.*

Ellen: ...That's a load off my mind. *hands the scroll back to Raleigh* ...Accidentally picked up an attack of Patchouli's that I didn't want, and it's been sitting in my forehead for a week.

[Raleigh]

Well done. *Takes the scroll.* Patchy has quite a few fun spells. Which one was this one? *He hadn't read the spell as it was being place into the scroll.*

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...It was 'Sun Moon Sign: Royal Diamond Ring.'
