Sulfurhast : Version #165

Welcome back, my young apprentice. I am glad that you didn't run from me. I took the appearance of Gene Seskrit again so you don't feel bothered by my faint smell of sulfur.
Today, I'll teach you how to create your Sulfurhast and make it alive.

First, you'll need to gather the proper ingredients. You'll need: 
- A lot of sulfur powder. Be careful, you'll have to manipulate it with a mask on your face not to breathe it. A high dose could kill you, and a small dose is enough to be disoriented.
- Warm human blood.
- A human's fresh corpse.
- Chosen animal's fresh body parts, including the skull, tail and legs. Other bits such as ears or horns can be added.
- A possession from the prey you chose. Make sure it belongs to your prey, and that it has been stolen, not gifted to you. The more the prey is attached to this object, the stronger the bound. It can only be an object or a part of the prey's body (such as blood or hair, for example.) The object should be free of magic, or should contains the prey's magic only.
- And a bit of your own life essence.

The best way to set up the ritual is to have two humans and the chosen animal(s) in nearby cages. Gather the warm blood of the first human, and mix it with the sulfur power. You should get a sticky and awful mixture. Use it to trace the Sulfurhast symbol on a clean ground. It should be large enough so the circle can hold entirely the Sulfurhast's lying body. Alternatively you can use the blood of the body you'll use afterwards and only have one victim instead of two, but it's less efficient.

The symbol to make your Sulfurhast real is important, and full of meaning. By a simple look, it reveals the triadic and complex relationship between the necromancer, the Sulfurhast, and the prey. The symbol at its center is the symbol for sulfur, your most important component when making your beast. The triangle is here to represent the three involved parts in this terrible spell. The circle is here to contains the magic inside. On top of the symbol is the necromancy symbol, it represents you and your actions. At right, another sulfur symbol, but also the symbol of a hunt that will never cease even if there are obstacles on the way. It represent the Sulfurhast and how impossible it is to stop it. At left, the symbol of sacrifice. It represent the chosen prey, the goal, the sole obsession, and he consequences of your actions.

When you traced the symbol, kill the second human and the animal(s) and dispose their body parts in a way to form the Sulfurhast's body. The head of the beast should be where the hunt symbol stands (the right one.) And the arms of the future beast should point towards the two other symbols (the necromancer and the prey,) but make sure that none of the body parts get across the circle. A servant can do it for you, if you have willing servants... but I think it's more important for the bound between the beast and you to do it yourself. Then, place the future prey's possession where the prey symbol stands (the left one.) Try to restrain your nausea when you'll start smelling the blood and sulfur's awful smells, and when you'll manipulate corpses. There is no place for sudden guilt or disgust in your action in this ritual.
You may take bodyparts of people died from a natural death or from a disease, so you don't have to kill them yourself, but make sure that the body parts remain fresh, and didn't start to rot.

When it's done, sit down where the necromancer symbol stands (the top one.) But do NOT cross the circle, not even with the tip of your toes: you would loose them.
It's no wonder why the necromancer symbol stands on the top: if you manage well, you'll be in control of the two other parts soon enough. 
When you feel prepared, pronounce the ritual's words while infusing the symbol and the body parts with your black magic and life essence: 

Kmetz kha dvash stom zmutzam abakh kmetz peshbo' tzu dvash matosh tzovkha dash
Ish kebo'an okhney shad kme'ekim bnar kvi'ek stot kmeya mamhim sikhumtze yoba zmukh
bomked kofo khagugmo imha'nomuye iyat'an nug o'em pehumni bnush dvashe ped
Kmetz kha dvash stom zmutzam abakh kmetz peshbo' tzu dvash matosh tzovkha dash

It is Dvalmay words, a language lost a long time ago. The first person to create a Sulfurhast talked this language. The spell probably could work if we pronouced the correct sentences in any language, but we lost the translation over the eras. You'd better learn these sentence by heart because you will be too focused on maintaining the spell to read scrappy notes on a sketchbook. While you do this, make sure that nothing can interrupt you. The Sulfurhast won't be alive until the end, but that'd be a serious waste to be interrupted after already so many sacrifices. 
When you said every sentences, then say them again and again, until soemthing changes.

If you did everything well, you should see soon enough a black smoke filling the inside of the circle. It will not reach you, to the condition you made a circle with no hole. Keep repeating the Dvalmay sentences. To this point, you'll be in a state of trance. You might even start to ignore what's around you, so make sure that no one's gonna stab you in the back. 
When the smoke will slowly disappear, and if your eyes are open, you'll see the Sulfurhast rising. If the spell succeeded, you'll feel the Sulfurhast becoming alive and rising as if it was you. Then, you'll know you succeeded.

The Sulfurhast will be stuck inside the circle as long as you'll be pronouncing the sentences. It might feel like a comfortable situation, but you should not make it wait, for the bound with its prey must be made at most a few minutes after its birth. Otherwise, you'll automatically become its prey...
Stop saying the sentence as soon as the beast awoke. The magic barrier will cease and the beast will be able to walk past it. Stop infusing your magic and life essence as well, or it will consume you whole: the beast will take what you give to it. 

Most of time, the monster will feel the object's presence on the prey's symbol, and will reach it to eat and consume it. Then the track will start, the beast will leave to find its prey, and you can take a break. But sometimes, the beast will remain inside the circle and not make a move, or worse: it'll seem to be more interested in YOU. If it happens, quickly grab the object and give it to your monster. 

When the Sulfurhast started its hunt, you'll need to rest. You'll feel exhausted. Try not to cast any other spell for a week if you can; you'll be drained. Eat and drink as much as you can, and sleep as much as you need to. You'll maybe experience visions or dreams, where you'll see what your beast sees or feel what it feels. It's normal. 

If you survived this far, congratulations! You'll now be the proud owner of an identity-theft monster, and you'll soon be able to take control of it and its powers. You'll have to take care of your monster and to make sure it never wants its freedom, aka your death. 

And if you ever feel like you could create a second monster, then a third, then many others and never cease, then remember this: it'll take a part of your soul every time.
