So it's the grace itself that the sigils react to, and not the identity of the person themselves. Because despite having lost the grace, you're still an angel. There's still the age and experience...
[That's actually handy to know, and keep filed away off to the side.]
Do you have any suggestions of other types of beings that I could try changing the devil traps to respond as targets? Once I know that I've got the right parts isolated to be adjusted, it will make customizing the traps much easier. I don't think any of your siblings would agree to help. I don't feel comfortable with asking Raphael, given her condition, either...
[What? They bonded during that swappy event. She also got to know Lucifer and Gabriel. :/ ]
[Though she's not sure that she wants to know what else that might mean for Castiel. If there's something more than just mortality and some kind of awareness.]
It's not that I want to alter them against angels. It's just wanting to know that I'm on the right course, and I have the symbols meant to be used against angels. Vampires, though... If I can find the right script to use against vampires, maybe I can ask Lestat. He can also test to make sure the powers are dampened enough that it doesn't affect things outside the trap.
[Though she doesn't know that those are the reasons Castiel felt it was too risky.]
I'll just have to ask around... If I'm lucky, it's just the matter of finding the right symbol or script to use. It's just a matter of whether someone is from those worlds...
If your friend needs to know why the devils traps need testing, there's two different tests that I should probably test separately. One is the power dampening, and the other is having the scripts and everything on the outside. If both work, I could put the two together without problem because the latter would mean that I know the sections to each ema.
[That way, while it still requires some prep time, setting the trap would be faster than drawing it out each time.]
Oh! I have a question about the wards and sigils you provided. Must they be on the wall, or would placing it on something to put on the wall work as well?
I'm thinking of testing one myself, though I'm not sure a general target for reapers or shinigami would work on all of us... Unlike the other shinigami, I don't have the same types of abilities in place.

Ema are easier to touch up than putting symbols right onto the walls.
[And small wooden plaques are easier to make than it is to find paper.]
Ema are small wooden plaques that are usually used for playing prayers and wishes at various shrines and temples. I'm using them for talismans and the like for ease of use.
[It's just making the ema that takes some time. Smiling, Botan makes the victory sign.]
Bingo!
You know, Rei should be familiar with them as well. They're typically used for prayers and wishes at many shrines and temples. I have to work on making more, but if you want to try getting them together she'd probably be able to help.
[Agfsd- you could practically feel the pouting in that text.]
It's actually very efficient, considering you'd be sick and unable to do most of what you'd like for even longer if you didn't rest. A day or two of consistent bedrest, or another week of a cold; it's your choice.

Ah, I understand. Let me know if they agree, then.
[Then, an idea!]
Cas, even with your grace removed, do things like sigils and wards against angels work against you?

Just remember; your primary objective is to rest until you're better.

So it's in your best interest to choose the better of the two. There aren't any other options if you're planning on getting better.
