Greetings, @summer2!

Congrats on the protection bottle- it is beautiful! ♥ As for the exploding part, I’m assuming it was just the smoke that had a reaction and not the candles themselves? If it was the candles, there’s a [discussion here about exploding candles and safety](https://forum.spells8.com/t/candle-safety/408/4) you could check out.
