And ENTAILS becomes:
ENTRAIL
As in, "The Entrail-Expelling Curse is a spell. Its effects are unknown, but presumably it causes one's entrails to be expelled from the body." (from the Harry Potter Wiki)
Also, to interweave; to intertwine (verb) or entanglement; fold (noun) per several online dictionaries that include new words.
Origin seems to have been a common misspelling of entail, entrails, entrain, engrail, etc. But it has since become legitimate enough to use here on the wild, wild web.

I wanted to make the next word ENGRAIL, (from ENTRAIL) which I find very interesting. If I think of the word grail, I immediately think of the Holy Grail, but it would seem that engrail actually could mean:
===========
engrail , definition of engrail , meaning of engrail - 1 (verb) engrail to variegate or spot, as with hail 2 (verb) engrail to indent with small curves See Engrailed 3 (verb) engrail to form an edging or border; to run in curved or indented lines
(noun) engrailment the ring of dots round the edge of a medal, etc
1 (adj) engrailed indented with small concave curves, as the edge of a bordure, bend, or the like
==========
@ Terry: The Entrail-Expelling Curse sounds scary indeed...
Ok, let's be boring and make TRAILER into TRAILED

RACIEST could become:

Alas, it will instead have to become:

I think it will be fun if we allow ourselves 7-letter names of adventure game characters. Why not? But then it will have to have 7 letters, and we'd have to restrict ourselves to adventure games, with our excuse being that this is an adventure site. 8-)

The ACTRESS wasn't really SCATTER-brained, but her STARTER role was in a cheap slasher flick playing a disposable airhead with bleach-blonde hair and no dialog other than, "OMG OMG... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!".

...and the action involved her running away from a Norman Bates type who slashed at her with a huge meat-cleaver until her beautiful ball dress was in tatters..

RATTLES could easily become RATTLER (like the snake or a baby using a noisy toy), but that would be a toughy with two Rs and two Ts or worse, TATTLER with three Ts.
So instead, let's make it:
BATTLER

With only three hours sleep in the last 48,
BRATTLE (whatever the heck that is) becomes:
PRATTLE because I can no longer think.

Lucien knows. He's scampering about in Edinburgh.
IMPALER becomes:

Hope you've managed to get a bit of rest, Terry!
RESTAMP Bobo wasn't happy with the original stamps, so he proceeded to restamp all of Trav's mail!
