Wrapping Magic

          Wizard Richard purchased the spell Yarvok for his fellow wizard friend Edward on Black Friday. Richard contained the spell within his own wand after he purchased it from the store. But he couldn't put his own wand in a box until Christmas. He had to wrap the spell. He checked that he wore his protective red robes in case anything went awry and enchanted his purple pointed hat with automatic signal to the hospital if he became injured. He hoped his blonde hair wouldn't be stained red with blood if something went wrong. Christmas would be so much easier if his friend Edward didn't have tastes in such volatile magic.

            He begins by preparing what he will wrap the present in.

First the cardboard box. Forged from the bark of trees grown on the graveyards of demons they could withstand a great deal of magical whiplash when enchanted carefully. Demonic cardboard carried a much cheaper price tag that it sounds as wizards slay a great deal of demons and there are many weak ones. (Even killed by fellow demons, they don't care much for each other and even sell the bark themselves.)

           Second comes the wrapping paper. To create a greater magical protection the demonic cardboard a paper from a gentle source is mixed in. Fairy Paper(Trademarked by the Fairy Paper Incorporated) is a “normal” paper making process mixed with various fairy dusts. For marketing purposes Fairy Paper Incorporated portrays it that elves are involved in the process somehow to sell the paper better at Christmas time with elves on them. Richard enchants this carefully as well. He follows all the directions for enchantments that finds by searching the magic Internet using Magoogle.

          Now that the cardboard box and paper are ready he can begin wrapping the spell. He takes a small stone a places it inside of the cardboard. He then wraps the box shut with the paper. Richard in the fastest chain of casting he can shoots the stored spell he bought from the store from his friend into the stone in the box then activates all the spell sealing elements on the present.

         He then spends the next fifteen minutes chasing the box around the room as it bounces as jumps before the spell stabilizes. Now the spell Yarvok is contained. As soon as the present is opened it will enter the nearest wand, which will be his friends.

         Richard's friend is a comedian. So naturally Edward will love the present. Yarvok, the spell that allows the user to enchant any object to behave like a whoopie cushion for a day would be perfect for him.
