"Entirely unexpected commission."
 
   A week or so ago, a friend of mine asked me to design him a magic circle. He knows that I'm competent at that kind of thing. I have to say that although I've been touting for business a la Harry Dresden, this was not something I expected at all.

You see, he wants it so he can enter a LARP Ritual Competition. And he wants something that looks pretty spectacular. So that's what I've been working on. Once I'd actually got the specifications from him, I was all too happy to help!

His specifications were thus:

1) No recognisable religious elements.
2) Able to be made out of rope.
3) Easy to lay out.
4) Not, and this is the important bit, actually going to summon anything at all.

The fact that item 4 on that list is actually something that could get him disqualified from the ritual is bemusing to me; And so, I settled down to examine my books and then come up with something workable. I eventually settled on combining the clean lines of a Goetic Circle of Conjuration with the frankly lunatic conventions of Scandinavian Volcanic magic.

And then we come to the kicker: he's actually planning on making said circle, when he enters the competition, out of guncotton. And then, while standing in the middle, he's going to light it.

I have had to revise my designs rather quickly, to include the following:

1) Sheets of and sigils made out of Flash Paper just for contrast and fun
2) Safety, in that it's NOT going to blow him into a tree
3) Minimum possibility that he will, actually, conjure Surtur
4) Complete avoidance, in fact, of ANY fire-related spirit seals in any way shape or form!

Once the finished design is ready, we shall see what happens.

From a safe distance.
