Used by: Bonnie Bennett first performed this spell to sent a kidnapped Elena a message by igniting the paper in Rose. Genevieve used a similar spell to bring Mikael to New Orleans by sending him a photo of Klaus and Marcel in Long Way Back From Hell. Rebekah and Cassie later tried the same spell, so that Rebekah could send her brothers a message using scrabble tiles, however, before it could take effect, they were stopped in Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire. Later the same night,Freya manipulated the tiles to communicate with her sister, prior to waking from her century slumber. Freya, using her and Rebekah's (while possessing Eva) connection to magic, sent a message on a crumpled paper to Rebekah's location. She has used the spell twice, once successfully (For the Next Millennium), and once unsuccessfully after Rebekah's witch body was killed (Beautiful Mistake). In Haunter of Ruins, Vincent performed this or a similar spell to send Hayley a note concerning Hope's magical affliction and that they must return to New Orleans to cleanse her. In The Feast of All Sinners Freya performed this spell several times to send messages to Kol to bring him back to New Orleans to help save Hope from the Hollow. In Don't It Just Break Your Heart, Hope performed this spell to send Roman a secret message to meet her before she underwent the Hybrid Curse, as she feared she would die and wanted to cross a few things off her bucket list. In God's Gonna Trouble the Water, Caroline had a witch at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted send a message she wrote to Klaus in New Orleans. In We're Being Punked, Pedro, an unknown witch sent Dorian a note with Lizzie, Josie, and Hope's named listed; there were to report to headmaster Alaric as they were in trouble for starting a brawl and using black magic, respectively. In Salvatore: The Musical!, Caroline magically transports a letter to the Salvatore School for Lizzie, presumably by a witch. The letter appears through Hope's fireplace and flies through the air until Hope grabs it; she eventually gives it to Lizzie as she performs in the school's musical.
