The Rune of Melcynda

You see the naked form of Melcynda in the world of spirits. Her outline is shrouded with black, and you can see within that black aura there are a thousand chains that bind her tight. Her mouth is pierced with black rods that prevent her from speaking. She looks at you, and through the blackness you see the sadness and pain on her face. She holds up a dangling chain and in the empty gap of the last link you see a vision.

You see, in order to enter the Jack O’Lantern’s sanctuary in the Spirit Realm, all of you will need to travel to Candlekeep. You will stand in the inner sanctum of Allahn where the Candle God slumbers. There you will enact a Spell Circle, a Great Circle that can hold up to a fifth level spell, Spirit-Gate. For this ceremony you need ten spells and Melcynda shows you which spells are needed to be cast: two Teleport to Safety, two Spirit Shield 2, two Speak with Spirits, two Protected Speak with Spirits and two Exorcism 3 spells. You will also need ten rare Faerie Monarch Butterfly Candles and ten Air Crystals instead of sticks of incense. You will then chant The Invocation of the Taper in Yanti’s Name.
