IGNORE ALL OF THIS.
NONE OF IT IS REAL.




THE ELDER-GOD BINDING SPELL.
  Note: Essentially, this spell functions through the 10th level of reality,
one that does not, in any otherwise practical sense, exist.  It is the plane
and the realm and the universe of essence, where all that is, was, will be and
can never be are merely shadows of a more complete reality.  Through
invoking the forces of Existence, those who participate in the ritual may hope
to supercede the powers of Beginnings and Endings, which are but an illusion
of time.

METHODS
  The actual ritual must be conducted in a place free of all outside magics,
like a Chamber of Conjurations.  
  Prior to the actual casting, the six totems must be placed in six
locations [***THESE NEED TO BE DETERMINED***] around the Castle, in their
proper orientations.
  The pedestal must be placed in the geometric center of the chamber.  Upon
it should be placed the brazier, within which the kindling should be set
alight.  Some fragrant herbs/spices should be added to the kindling; while
they burn, the Chant of Inception should be performed.  
  [NOTE:  From this point forward, the ritual is empowered.  If it is then 
ended without the Chant of Completion, the power remains free and bizaare
(and unpleasant) consequences will occur]
  The container should be placed within the flame, and the remainder of the
scented herbs should be placed within it.  These may be in a porous bag or
loose.  
  The power of each totem is then invoked by the Chant of the World.  They
must be invoked simultaneously, requiring six voices directed towards the
six locations.  Throughout the remainder of the spell, one voice must be
continually performing the Chant of the World, alternating the totems, and
facing in the appropriate direction.  It needn't be the same voice.  If it
stops, the ritual is stopped and must be started again (if this is
possible).
  The nightshade and belladona should be crushed, and thrown into the 
container.  The boiling water should be added to the container, and allowed
to overflow and extinguish the flames.  
  The brazier is removed from the pedestal, and placed next to it; the
Soulcrystal put in its place.  Equidistant from the pedestal should be
placed the plant, the animal, and the human.  They should not be physically
bound by any means and must be conscious.  Atop the soulcrystal should be
placed the tome or the orb.
  The leader of the ritual, wearing the knife and the sword, should enter
this tetrahedron.  Using the knife, he should chop off the plant at the
roots and place three of its leaves in the cup in the brazier; then stab the
animal cleanly through the heart and cut off fur, scales, claws, or some
other appropriate part (a very small amount) and place it in the cup.  The
human should then drink the liquid within the cup.
  
HYPOTHESES: 
  When Kalerege originally performed this spell, he used deva to perform the
other parts of the ritual, and picked up a resident of an insane asylum as
the victim.  The sacrifice died, of course, and the results were otherwise
as described below--except that the patient afterwards remained in a
catatonic state that Kalerege never realized wasn't death.  Thus he believes
that the ritual ends in the death of the victim.

RESULTS:
  The human, of course, keels over and dies.  At this point, the crystal
begins to glow and build up in intensity.  The leader of the ritual will
feel an impulse to smash the crystal with the sword...
  If he does so, the sword will travel through the tome and the crystal and
become embedded in the pedestal itself.  The crystal will explode in a flash
of white (for Tualoha) or black (for Chthon).
