Not more, no less,  \nAnd these are points you mustn't test.  \nDid e'er you rule the hordes of Hell?  \nNo. But I have, so listen well!  \n  \nSpill the blood upon the earth  \n(The blood involved need not be yours),  \nThen speak! Let not your caution lapse,  \nAnd you'll be safe. I think. Perhaps.  \n  \n\"Mask and mirror, moon and sea,  \nTake thy shape and tend to me.  \nBlood and incense, dust and wine  \nCall thee down and here do bind.\"  \n  \nAnother nine with chime or bell,  \nThen snuff the fire to end the spell.  \nYou'll be followed home from the shrine  \nBy fiends. With luck, they'll give you mine.  \n  \n  \n\n"}
