Micro-engraved narrative system
Incised in Soot
Warm palm-leaf panels carry lampblack hairlines, turmeric glints, and one restrained ritual mark.
Tobacco leaf
Mid-brown ground, fibrous and flat, never parchment-pale.
Lampblack line
Every rule and glyph is cut as a soot-filled hairline.
Rare red mark
Vermilion appears once, like a ritual point on the folio.
