Title: Regarding the Statue of the Mount

The Statue of the Mount is an enchanted statuette, which can be transformed into an ethereal mount upon command. After many years of research and countless attempts, the Mages of the Lyceum have succeeded in enchanting a small statuette. The initial attempts were quite humorous, as we could not bring any sort of earthly solidity to the ethereal creature. On the other hand we had succeeded in conjuring a nice illusion.

It was not until Torcuil read a copy of the Codex Necromicum, that we were able to understand how to bring structure to the image. In a long forgotten and forbidden spell regarding the creation of skeletal mounts, the Codex mentions the need to bring integrity to the mount.

The Codex claimed bone from a Bone Magi of Deceit would bring integrity to the mount.

Needless to say this gray and shady use of the bone of a Human Being, troubled a good deal of souls in the Lyceum. However after much, discussion, theorizing, soul searching and the addition of neutralizing rereagents, we received permission from the Lord Librarian to continue our studies.

We commissioned an artist from Britain, by the name of Cirala, to create three statuettes. One of a Valiant and Steadfast Horse, another of a Sacred and Noble Llama, and another of a Swift and Fierce Frenzied Ostard. The statuettes were cast from the finest Minocian Shadow Iron. After casting the enchantment was placed upon each statuette. We found that the order of the use of reagents was crucial.

First a conclave of Three Mages of at least master Status must be convened for the enchantment.

Then each mage must wind a wire around the statuette. One wire of gold to channel the magical energies; a wire of copper to mentally connect the beast to the caster; and a wire of iron to tie the beast to this world.

Next the dust from three pieces of amber must be combined with three clods of fertile dirt from an Earth Elemental.

This mixture should be added to three pieces of crushed bone from a Bone Magi of Deceit. (It would be wise to add a brief prayer to the spirit of Compassion, for the peaceful repose of the Mage who was contorted by Evil and transformed into the Bone Magi.) This mixture should be added to a gallon of water from the shrine of Compassion.

To this soup, add the powder from three finely crushed amethysts. At this point one of the mages should begin to chant An Lor Xen (to enhance the etherealness of the steed.)

As the first chanting mage chants, another mage should wrap the statuette in leather from the creature represented and begin chanting Kal Xen (to summons the essence of the steed)

Then the caster should place the reagent mixture in a large cauldron of boiling water. Now we enter the final stages of the enchantment. While the other tow mages are chanting, the caster must grind fresh Blackmoor from a Lich Lord into a fine dust. This Dust must then be placed, along with a sheaf of wheat, into a large barrel lined with gold.

Now the caster should begin chanting Kal Terram Xen Muto (as his comrades continue their chants.)

Finally the statuette and the mixture should be poured into the gold lined barrel.

Then after adding two more sheaves of wheat the contents of the barrel should be set aflame with the intense Magikal fire of a Flamestrike spell.

Only if this process is followed can the mount be cleansed of the evil inherent to the bone of a Bone Magi of Deceit.
