A mummified hand
Minor arcanum #58
Found in an engraved lead box, this grisly relic is adorned with three golden rings (Value 2). Each ring has an empty setting, as though it was meant to hold a stone. Only dark, rust-like flakes remain.
The hand still thrums with unholy vitality. To unlock its mysteries, you must...
Requirements
- ☐ …learn the name of the sorcerer whose hand this was.
- ☐ …learn the words of power and the process below.
- ☐☐☐ …on three seperate nights, soak a different piece of red crystal (Value 1) in a bowl of your own fresh blood (5 HP, mark a debility), chanting words of power throughout the night, and then set the still-dripping crystal in one of the rings that adorn the hand.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
