GLRP:EMs:2010:In the Shadow of Virtue:A Spell for Ricardo
Title: A Spell for Ricardo Author:
To be cast by a
multitude, led by one of
strong will. It should be
cast at a high point, in a
place where much blood
has been spilled.
THE PREPARATIONS
Assemble:
- four candles (purple,
yellow, orange, and red)
- a candelabra with three
black candles
- a cracked hazelnut
- a heliotrope seed
- a henbane seed
- a corrupted tamarisk
tree
- a sprig of rosemary
- a feather torn from a
creature of pure good
- thyme
- blood of slain righteous
warriors
- mirort skitas
Spell ingredients should be set up ahead of time, so as not to have to trust other casters with anything valuable or complicated.
Dress all seven candles with mirort skitas. Set the large candles at the four compass points. Starting with north, the colors are: purple, yellow, orange, and red. Place the candelabra in the middle of the circle. Arrange the cracked hazelnut, heliotrope seed, and henbane seed around the candelabra. Arrange the corrupted tamarisk tree, sprig of rosemary, and thyme around the seeds. The feather should be taken from the captive sacrifice at the last possible moment.
THE SACRIFICE
During this entire ritual, all those present should keep an image of the capture and binding of the target foremost in their thoughts. The casters stand in a circle around the candles. The leader shall stand northmost.
In a strong voice, to demonstrate his or her power, the leader shall say:
Leader: One of our
own hides from us.
Leader: We seek to bend
him to our will and force
him to make himself seen.
Leader: We summon
spirits of evil with the
blood of a slain common
enemy, righteous
crusaders.
The leader pours the blood around the candelabra.
Leader: We sacrifice a creature of pure good.
A pure creature should now be brought forth and slain by the crowd.
Leader: Now With unclean
hands we seek a master
thief.
Leader: We demand that
no force of good keep us
asunder from one of our
own.
FOLLOWING THE FIRE
If the spell works, the candelabra should now reveal the location of the one sought.
The leader shall pick up
the candelabra and go
towards the target.
