"Dictionary, hmm, never had a use for 'em.  We Druids have an *oral*
tradition"

>*not* mean "surround with flames"...

"Hmm, really?"  "By Oak and Woad!  He speaks the
truth!  Jonas!  Magnolia!  Wait!!!"

<*spfuuf*> "Aaaah!"  
<*spkorf*> "Eeeeeeee!"

"Ahrrgh!  Now *where* am I going to dig up a pair of Archdruids?"

Aha, you have discovered the secret behind the "Immolation" spell!
The Great Druid teaches it gratis to Druids and Archdruids whom he

[end of joke 2]

about three years in my world, and I'm sure I've been using the term
for at least six.
