[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 992684, member: 11987"] What is the paper made out of? Is it real paper (non-magical)? Does the spell say it reacts like normal (wood or hide based) paper? The definition of grease Main Entry: grease Pronunciation: 'grEs Function: noun Etymology: Middle English grese, from Old French craisse, graisse, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin crassia, from Latin crassus fat Date: 13th century 1 a : rendered animal fat b : oily matter c : a thick lubricant This definition (subpart c) does not preclude many substances that are not flammable for being considered greases. Silicone Grease for example does not oxidize or burn. Iron will also burn in the right conditions. Yes, Iron can under go that exothermic oxidation reaction called combustion. The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) defines a flammable liquid as "any liquid having a flash point below 100 deg. F. (37.8 deg. C.), except any mixture having components with flash points of 100 deg. F. (37.8 deg. C.) or higher, the total of which make up 99 percent or more of the total volume of the mixture. Flammable liquids shall be known as Class I liquids." By OSHA's definition neither grease (most anyway) or iron are flammable. If what you mean by flammable is capable of combustion then both grease (most) and iron are flammable in the right circumstances. Also how much heat are you removing from the grease? If the loss of energy to the environment is high enough combustion will cease. It was meant to be. IIMO presuming that the grease would be flammable and extrapolating game mechanics out of the asumption, wile not calling them House Rules, is rather silly. [/QUOTE]
