Um, why?  "Scroll of Displace" seems no more a twisted use of
English than the other suggestions you made, especially since
it's a title.

And where does this "Foo of Bar" naming convention come from
anyway?  "Blink scroll" might be a better and more descriptive
name.  I think it's annoying when games are too much alike, and
"Foo of Bar" naming conventions are definitely overused.

Anyway, it's his game, so let him name things as he sees fit.
