After successfully casting this spell, the Magician rips off the head of one of the Canopic Dolls, thus freeing a part of the Magic it contains. He gains a Gem of Darkness that he must use before the end of the round. Then roll a D6. On a result of 1 the Magician has just sacrificed his last Canopic Doll and cannot cast this spell again until the end of the game. If this gem is not used by the end of the round, it explodes, inflicting a Wound of Strength 1 on the Magician.
Only Magicians of Mid-Nor know the Incantations needed for the Sacrifice of the Doll.
