This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude doesn't even know about the magic smoke.

I wonder whether ESR will one day up his SSL game.

Anon also forgot to infuse the lightning pixies after inscribing the runes, tsk tsk.

They're the ones who let the smoke out if you anger them!

Generally it's only the wizards that deal with the physical side - such as rock shapping and rock combining - that get magic smoke, though if they did their part wrong the wizards that make rocks think might get it as can the people playing Skyrim using the thinking rocks.

How do they get the smoke to go in? Once I let the magic smoke out I am never quite able to put it back in properly.

You have to melt the whole thing back to raw rock and remake it from scratch, which is usually more work than just grabbing some fresh raw rock to build a new one so it's seldom done.

How do you get the yolk back in the egg? Well, just ask the chicken of course (or the Wizard in this case).
