| The mage must sever the right hand of a convicted murderer who has been hung. The hand may only be severed during the new moon and must be wrapped in a winding sheet. It must be dried in the sun and the blood entirely removed. When the desiccated hand is worn as a amulet, thereafter, it will add 1% per 2 levels to the base chance of casting any special knowledge spell from this college. This ritual always works if it is correctly performed. Only mages who have sworn the greater pact may perform this ritual. |
