 * Whosever summons a Visitant into our Realm risks much. Whether flickering as a Spirit in the ether or inhabiting the Flesh of a designated Host, the Visitant shall strive to attain its Liberty, and if it does, it shall wreak great havoc. Thus a Visitant must be summoned only within a protective Circle, which shall bind it as no fetters could.


 * The Circle must be complete and eternal, with no ruptures. Its line must be drawn with a steady hand firmly gripping the chalk. Since a stray step, made through carelessness or the Visitant’s trickery, can smudge the line, the Circle must be further secured by a barrier in the form of lit candles made of beeswax. A Circle thus protected shall stand as a sure and inescapable Prison for the Visitant.
