The Rite of AshkEnte
Culture
A spell performed to summon and bind Death. It is generally done with reluctance, because senior wizards are usually very old and would prefer not to draw Death's attention to themselves. There are ten ways of performing the Rite - nine of them kill you instantly and the other one is very hard to remember.
