Chapter 2: Level One

Ok, so you make the deal and you only get level 1. not a big deal, as you use your powers, your level will eventually rise, but for now, start with daggers. First, put your hand out in front of you. Then, say "nex vesica, orior". While saying that, imagine a dagger of bone in your hand. Not all the details are necessary, although that helps. If it works, bone should fly out of the ground and assemble into a dagger. Then make sure to grasp the handle or it will disappear. This is the same principle for other weapons, and you can make others as long as they are smaller or less complicated than a dagger.

You can also summon kunai, knives, arrowheads (without shafts), shurikan, and others. Just be careful. If you try something too complex or big, it will turn on you. And trust me, you don't want a claymore trying to mutilate you. Or, if that doesn't kill and/or maim you, then the demon who comes to weild the weapon will. In addition to weapons, you can also summon plates, bowls, utensils, and other such objects.

Overall, this level merely allows you to slightly defend yourself and also have kitchenware in time of need. And don't try butcher knives! Those are bad! Actually, they are worse than a misssumoned claymore. They stab through your skin with the handle. Not the blade, the handle. And for those of you who don't understand, I will put it simply. Blunt object plus stabbing equals lots of pain. That dumb enough for you? I hope so.

After about 180 summonings, you should be strong enough to do the ritual detailed in the next chapter. It will summon death so you can receive another hairpin to mark your new level. If you don't have enough power, death will laugh at you and tell you to go home, realize that you are already home, say "umm… I mean… don't make fun of me!" or something of the sort. Death is kinda immature even though it is over 500 zillion years old or something.

Chapter 3: Second rites

Ok, so you are no longer a pathetic level one. So how do you go about 'leveling up'? it's actually quite simple. All you gotta do is open up a dimensional portal on level 52 of the correct plane, and make sure it is near death and not some crazy, psycotic demon who death just happens to be babysitting. Not really, but that is actually pretty cool to do. Anyways, what you really have to do is brew this potion.

Ingredients:

1 crushed bone dagger

a cauldron of boiling vampire blood

Steps:

First, boil the vampire blood. Then, add the bone dagger. Stir for 8 minutes, going back and forth, not in a circular motion.

The ritual:

Ok, so you got the potion. Under a new moon, spill it on a hard surface that won't absorb it. Then stand in the middle and use phoenix blood to draw a star on your stomach (chest for guys). Put one drop of basilisk blood in the center of the star, and chant this:

nex adeo remuneror mihi

If done correctly, death should come and give you another pin. Hooray for you. You are now level two. Yay.
