Mandatory: A wand. The incantation (found below). A clear visual of the dead person you wish to speak to. Optional: Clementine scented candles. (When you return from the afterlife, you'll smell like burnt flesh.) Speak the following words slowly: One hour 'till dawn, and I share it with you Twice the time on this Earth won't prove my love true Death cannot part us, I will find you wherever Breach thrice the darkness, so we're blind together Sands of time flee me, I fall to your waves Stretch out your hands, let reality cave I sacrifice light, countless breaths that I waste Just pull me in once, for that final embrace Please note: If the person you take into the afterlife does not LET GO of the dead's embrace, you disintegrate into ashes. The clementine candles won't help, then. Take care!

The fabric that separates life from death is becoming thinner, I feel it. With some small changes to my old incantation, my ritual should allow me to cross into the afterlife without requiring a loved one's touch... and to find eternity. One hour 'till dawn, and I spend it beyond Twice the time on this Earth is just what I want Death cannot stop me, I will find my forever Breach thrice the darkness, death finds me never Sands of time free me, I fall to the waves Stretch out my hands, let reality cave I sacrifice light, countless steps that I take Walk once into black, until later I wake Remember, Paulette: Trace your steps, or else you won't return from the void! I'd best conduct the ritual in my secret cellar so I don't bring the smell of death into my living room... I'm all out of clementine-scented candles.
