Summoning
On the wax of the dark moon they can be called by chanting their name and the following Master, stand before me as the leaf before the grass, neither black or green, but just like me. I have brought you a red harvest. Human blood must then be poured on the soil, the amount depending on the favour that is to be asked. [1a]

| Bring the harvest, talking later. Feed us, feed us and then we'll tell. Thirsty, thirsty, more of harvest. We shall make your blade cut keen
