Saul's Corpsecroll
Born an Ethiopian Jew in Israel, Saul's family emigrated to the Jewish section of Prague when he was eight years old. The boy rebelled against his parents, the Jewish religious leaders and society in general, Saul became a follower of the Adversary and a Black Magician. Consumed with self-destructive urges, the young magician was given to performing blasphemies almost as a matter of course. It was one of these that ultimately destroyed him.

During one of his periodic binges, Saul came across the cooling corpse of a troll in an alley. He dragged it home to his workshop and transformed it into an ill-formed ideal of the macabre: A hideous patchwork scroll, sewn together from the troll's skin with the troll's muscles and tendons, words sewn onto the poor leathery hide with wisps of hair and muscle. The bones were brought together into a crude, garish from surmounted by the empty-eyed yellowing skull. To Saul, the whole ghastly exercise was little more than another pointless and empty achievement in a degenerate life.

Until a shedim possessed the corpsecroll. Weak and nearly dissipated, Saul easily trapped the shedim within the frame with his magic, and some dark font of rejoice broke forth from within him. Here he would find the forbidden lore he sought. This deva would instruct him in the darkest arts and unveil to him the secrets of the night! It would become his new avatar.

Unfortunately, the shedim did not cooperate. After days of trying, Saul gave in to depression and despair, scrawling his few pathetic secrets onto his ghoulish life's work before committing long, slow suicide with the slow death spell.

The shedim inhabiting the corpsecroll is trapped by a quickened Force:6 Spirit Binding spell. It is Force 1, with no karma left, and possesses the powers of Inhabitation, Karma Drain (only those who touch the corpsecroll with their bare flesh), and Innate Spell (Astral Window) (typically only within the frame of the corpsecroll). The corpsecroll contains, besides a made rambling of incoherent heresies, the formulae for Slow Death: 6, and the rare spells Death Sight, Animate Corpse, Spirit Binding and Spirit Wrack.

Death Sight
Detection
Type: M
Target: W
Duration: I
Drain: -1(S)

This spell gives the caster information on the target's general health and any illnesses, injuries or other medical problems the target might have. One success tells if the subject is ill and the relative idea of their Essence rating (high or low). Three successes reveals particular illnesses and injuries, while five will reveal specific viruses such as HIV and HMHVV and hemorraghing, cancer and other internal injuries. The maximum successes allowed equals the Force of the spell. The caster must be able to see the subject of the spell.
Saul's version required a fetish, a small iron-rimmed monocle.

Animate Corpse
Telekinetic Manipulation
Type: P
Target: OR
Duration: S
Drain: +1(L)

THis spell causes corpses or parts of corpses to move. They move according to their structure...disembodied hands crawl and claw, decapitated heads roll, bodies shamble and shuffle. The spell imparts a certain amount of flexibility, overcoming rigor mortis and allowing disembodied bones to move as the joints did in life. The caster can move only the whole of a given object...not just the finger of a disembodied hand, or the eyes of a corpse. Maximum movement rate is a number of meters per turn equal to Magic x successes (up to a maximum equal to the spell's Force). The gamemaster may reduce this rate at her discretion. Use the caster's successes for strength or Quickness if necessary.

Spirit Binding
Transformation Manipulation
Type: M
Target: 6
Duration: S
Drain: (M)

This spell creates an inward-pointing astral barrier around an object, corpse or living being that has been possessed. The possessing entity is trapped within the host until they defeat the spirit barrier, for they cannot move any part of the host through the barrier and it impedes their powers.
Canny magicians use this spell to create "spirit traps" with anchoring foci, or to cajole spirits into bargains by holding their freedom ransom.

Spirit Wrack
Combat
Type: M
Target: F
Duration: I
Drain: (S)

This spell is a Deadly damage spell specifically designed to destroy spirits that cannot otherwise be dealt with. The caster must touch an object or host the spirit is trapped in, or else the item or host of its Hidden Life (if it has that power). The target number is the Force of the spirit. The spirit resists the spell as normal. If the caster achieves more successes than the spirit, it suffers full damage and is destroyed. Otherwise, there is no effect.
Efforts to combine this spell with ritual sorcery have so far failed.
