Quoted By:
Two Tales Of Maskelyne
(Lesser Rite Of Invultuation)
A conjurer's trick which you feel you have probably seen before.
It was made famous by the stage magician Maskelyne, though it was known to many others.
It consists of simply switching places with another on the verge of death. There are many variants, a box of swords, a drowning tank, a curtain pulled before a cage.
When cast upon an assailant - especially an unsuspecting one - the attacker quickly finds the demise they desired for another, delivered to themselves.
(QM: in case you are unfamiliar with spells and ancient rites in my older games, all magic is unique and single-use only; once cast it is forever lost. Magic always has a price, a consequence. Use at your own peril...)
