In the Gods’ Realm, a being of pure magic power materialized in the corridor and started walking to a room. When she arrived in front, she, because the form was definitely feminine, cast a few spells to check for traps and when there was no reaction, opened the door. And then she waited around ten seconds to make sure there was no prankster magic at play here, before Magicnia entered her magic study room. She let her magic power, a part of herself cover the entire room and felt something that didn’t belong, not just in this room, but the entire realm. When she looked a little closer, she found a sheet of paper under her desk and cautiously picked it up, to examine it more closely. It was one of her magic diagram, but different, more refined and controlled, as opposite to the one it was based on, which relied on raw power with little controls involved. It looked like something made for a species with magic power magnitudes lower than that of gods. And she knew only one god who would do something like godly magic to other species for fun, Prankstein. She quickly discarded the reason she was here and cast a wide net of location spells in an attempt to locate the prankster god and to her big surprise she managed to locate him in the corner of a small room, not even slightly cloaked in magic. She immediately went to him, planning to ask a whole lot of questions and laying a beating if she didn’t like the answers.

-Did you enter my room, Prankstein?-Asked Magicnia as soon as she entered the room and made sure the prankster god was there. He looked away from a mirror in his hands and turned towards her, then without any change to his expression answered her.

-Yes, yes I did.-The goddess was a little surprised at the honest and immediate answer, but continued to ask her questions anyway.

-When did you enter my room?-

-Hmm, 53 years, 8 months, 2 days and 15 minutes ago.-

That answer perplexed her a little. Wasn’t that when some of her spells went missing and when she investigated, she found them in the room of Knowledgeinia? Then it wasn’t her who borrowed them? And what about the sheet of paper she had in her possession?

-Then, what is this I am holding?-She showed him the magic diagram she found in her room and suspected was his.

-That looks like a fire spell with variable magic power control that can upgrade or downgrade the effects of the spell. You could probably increase the magic power efficiency if you remove one or two control elements, or it could blow up in your face.-

-That is not what I was asking, though you are right it would blow up. This spell was precisely calculated to be on the edge of efficiency. What I was asking was, if you haven’t entered my room in 53 years, how did this sheet of paper, from outside our realm, made its way in my study room?-

-Oh, that. It was probably the work of my champion. I gave her transportation magic when I summoned her, so she knows how our summoning room looks. From there, with prankster magic, she could have easily made her way to your room and copied few spells.-

-You summoned a champion? Why would you do that? And if she was here, you didn’t just copy a soul. What is your goal?-

-I asked Miasmar and Lightner if I could play with them, but they are so busy with their pointless war between Hero and Demon Lord, I decided to mess with them. She also pulls some interesting pranks, which I quite enjoy watching.-

-Are you watching her now?

-Yes. She is in the process of conquering her first planet and almost without using magic. She is only using what she found or stole from around her. I am so proud of her, barely a year after summoning her and she is already conquering planets. You know, she probably learned the God’s language when she was here, which means she would soon travel to other realms, maybe conquering some planets there. I sure made a wise decision when I gave her traveling magic.-

-Scoot over, I want to watch.-

The gods of magic and pranks sat there, watching through the magic mirror how Penny was conquering Earth. The two stopped from time to time, to go get snacks and beverages, then continued observing the process that took around a week to complete.
