Another question about Parchment
Well, I hesitate to bring this up with the periodical ideas of making a parchment suit of armor, but I will anyway. We know that parchment with runes on it can't be destroyed. That would imply being impervious fire. So, does that mean it doesn't conduct heat? Could you use a piece of parchment with a rune on it as a hot pad?

Re: Another question about Parchment
I would say that, just like regular parchment, it conducts heat just fine. It has all the properties of parchment except for "able to be destroyed."

Re: Another question about Parchment
I would rule that other then not being able to be destroyed it is just parchment.
A hot pad made out of parchment that has been silver runed will not burn or singe.

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I wonder if it would make good non stick baking paper.
Re: Another question about Parchment
Would it be possible to make a boat out of parchment? Not sure if it would be light enough to float or fold into a shape.

Re: Another question about Parchment
Well, Axel brings up a good point. Getting wet usually degrades the sheer strength of parchment but if it can't be destroyed, does it lose any integrity?

Did not the Mythbusters mack a dinghy out of duct tape? Just make sure you are using water soluble glue.

I would think that depends on how water tight parchment is.

Re: Another question about Parchment
I would say yes to a boat of parchment, though you would probably need an internal frame.
