	'''Casting:''' This ritual can only be cast after full nightfall. In a dimly lit secluded location, the caster begins by pouring out a circle of black ash upon the ground. Within the ashen circle, the ~~shadowcaster~~ invokes Yaldabaoth the Demiurge and God of Darkness. Thereafter a candle of black wax is lite and placed in the center of the circle. The caster takes up a lotus position on the ground and curses each of the known gods of light as he passes the long silver needle through the flame until it is blackened. Then he thrusts the heated needle deep into the flesh of his body and repeats this process over and over until he has created the Abyssinian pictogram of summoning which resembles a black sun with six wavy rays. In the final act of the ritual the shadow-sorcerer picks up the black candle which has doubtless melted down to a stub and snuffs it out on his raw new tattoo. The process of tattooing oneself with a hot needle is quite painful, more so is the snuffing of the black candle on the newly incised tattoo, but both of these acts of suffering pale in comparison to what comes afterward...

	If successful, the black tattoo transforms the flesh of the ~~shadowcaster~~ into a momentary gateway to the Abyss. Out of the raw black hole of the sorcerer's flesh, rises a ''Eye of Yaldabaoth''. The midnight black orb is no larger than a small child's hand and hovers over the sorcerer's wound which has once more become a simple tattoo. Extruding freezing tentacles of night, the ''Eye'' licks the wound clean (of ash, blood and black wax), leaving a patch of preternaturally darkened hairless flesh in the form a black sun.

Should the player botch, the wound becomes aggravated and while it eventually heals, the character loses a ~~perment heal~~ level and earns himself a nasty scar. If successful, the ''Eyes of Yaldabaoth'' remain in the service of the ~~shadowcaster~~ for the remainder of the night and should they come into contact with fire they are utterly destroyed. If not destroyed, the ''Eyes'' return to the Abyss with the dawn and until then, they serve their master's commands with unswerving if unimaginative fervor.
