Level Three Rituals

Description: "Speculum Animae Septem" translated into English, means "The Mirror of the Seven Souls." This ritual is a more advanced version of "Cogitationibus Animae Septem" which permanently enchants a handmade mirror of speculum metal to reflect a single aspect of the soul.
Origin: Benesj Cherno
Ingredients: A hand made speculum metal mirror / a dead human eye / used burial linen / a human tallow candle / grave-stone chisel
Casting: The necromancer begins the ritual in a subterranean chamber, at least fifty feet below ground. He must invoke the Roman gods Vulcan and Dis Pater to bless his work in melting down and combining two parts of copper with one part tin to create the speculum metal. He then chants a litany of voces magica over the molten metal and drops a dead human eye into the mixture to burn. When it is fully consumed and mixed with the metal, the necromancer pours the metal into a gravestone mold to cool.
