This Manc allows the user to call from their eternal peace the spirit of a corpse, an incorporeal spirit, or the original spirit or possessing spirit of an undead corpse. It takes but 10 Rounds - Level of Mancer before the spirit can communicate. The communication quality is affected by the power of the spirit being communicated with. Simple folk may have trouble understanding or replying to questions, whilst although higher beings may communicate better, they may be reticent in responding too clearly to certain requests. It is generally very easy to ask what the corpse may have been witness too in the last few Passages, rather than some question regarding their teachings or wisdom.
Only the user can hear the communication between dead, whilst any outsider can hear the user talking normally. The scroll allows multiple individuals to communicate with a single dead. The potion must be half poured over the dead and half drank by the user. The amulet is laid upon the dead, or worn and the wearer physically touch the dead. The holy symbol must be placed on the dead or touch the dead. The mask must be worn and eye contact maintained.
