The Scroll of Titan Summoning

Ok, I just HAD to make this

The legendary Scroll of Titan Summoning! I mean... this had to happen, there's no way I couldn't make this thing. I need a scroll case, and a scroll to go with it. Man, the second this rattled into my head, I was already building it in the ol' sponge up there. I need plastic bottle tops, I need a sheet of plastic to roll up, I need wooden dowels, and I need my good ol' waterproof paper. The rest can come into play as I go, but I'm thinking sparkly nailpolish painted over the clear plastic tube for the holder, so it's sparkly on the inside, possibly the same treatment on the wooden dowels that will make up the scroll itself, darken the wood with a soak in tea, some fancy outer painting on the scroll case, aw yus it's half-built already!

And with that the building process began in ernest. Powerade bottles were obtained for their black lid, the handles from those cheap sponge paintbrushes were used for the dowels of the scroll itself, and wooden beads, though too small initially, were wrapped in glue-coated string to keep a somewhat spirally appearance and make them larger, which will be attached to the wooden dowels. How? I drilled fairly deep holes into the ends of the dowels, which conveniently just perfectly fit the same coathanger wire being used to make the wand of wonder and the mouth ring of my dragons, which also just perfectly fit inside the beads, so once we get everything finalised with those parts, the beads will be glued to the ends of the dowels with a length of that wire running through them. We cut a slot into each of the dowels for the (strong, waterproof) paper scroll to be glued into, and then attempted to dye the dowels in some strong black tea. However, the dowels didn't darken nearly as much as I was hoping they would, so...

More to come! instructions here.

Did you want to summon a Titan?!?
 A photo of the starting point, the tops from two powerade bottles, and two wooden handled sponge paint brushes, where the handles are conveniently just straight dowels of wood and not tapered at all, sitting on Kabutroids work table.The scroll written out, with the base instructions, followed by a short summoning spell that Kabs came up with so that the player can read something aloud to summon the titan. Summon oh great fury, deliver unto us your wrath, destroyer of worlds, bringer of death, I summon thee, with beside it a rather angry looking symbol of a horozontal progress line with large crossed lines going through it. Beside the scroll are the samples of the crossy symbol, and the initial writing out of the summon text on green post it note paper.

The beads that will make up the sides of the scroll itself, too small initially, long, dark brown wooden dowels with deep grooves going around them, and a second bead that has been thickened up by wrapping glue-soaked string around it several times to keep a grooved appearance, but make it much thicker to match the dowels.
