>Gemma: Cast them into the cauldron. >Sapphire: Just like that?Sapphire tosses a few q-tips with saliva on them, a few strands of hair, and other samples into the pot.
>Sapphire: Now what?>Gemma: Now, lift your hand over the cauldron.As Sapphire places her hand above it, Gemma takes a blade, slicing her finger and squeezing out a drop of blood into the mixture.
>Sapphire: OW! A little warning first would be nice! But why do you need my blood, and these ingredients? I thought you'd tell me how to protect my friends! I'm not always going to have a cauldron available when they need protecting!>Gemma: The spell is similar, however to protect one person is different from an area. I've places a salt barrier around the property, various crystals with protective elements as well. >Sapphire: Will you at least tell me what these crystals are or where to find them?>Gemma: In time. As for now... watch closelyGemma smiles as she begins to chant as she makes several motions with her hands, the fire underneath the cauldron swells, the book in front of her seems to lift it's pages to the next as if turned by an invisible hand, and blue rune appears briefly in the sky.

>Gemma: We offer you the very foundations of the lives in need of protecting. Hair, Saliva...The cauldrons begins to boil over loudly as the liquid inside turns red
>Teeth, bone, and the blood of a virgin witch who will serve as protector.>Sapphire: Wait! What do you mean virgin wit-The cauldron explodes, causing the spell to go haywire, leaving a glowing crater on the lawn of the divine estate.
