Mandatory:
A wand. The incantation (found below). A clear visual of the dead person you wish to speak to.

Optional: Clementine scented candles. (When you return from the afterlife, you'll smell like burnt flesh.)

Speak the following words slowly:
One hour 'till dawn, and I share it with you
Twice the time on this Earth won't prove my love true
Death cannot part us, I will find you wherever
Breach thrice the darkness, so we're blind together
Sands of time flee me, I fall to your waves
Stretch out your hands, let reality cave
I sacrifice light, countless breaths that I waste
Just pull me in once, for that final embrace

Please note:
If the person you take into the afterlife does not LET GO of the dead's embrace, you disintegrate into ashes. The clementine candles won't help, then. Take care!

The fabric that separates life from death is becoming thinner, I feel it. With some small changes to my old incantation, my ritual should allow me to cross into the afterlife without requiring a loved one's touch... and to find eternity.

One hour 'till dawn, and I spend it beyond
Twice the time on this Earth is just what I want
Death cannot stop me, I will find my forever
Breach thrice the darkness, death finds me never
Sands of time free me, I fall to the waves
Stretch out my hands, let reality cave
I sacrifice light, countless steps that I take
Walk once into black, until later I wake

Remember, Paulette: Trace your steps, or else you won't return from the void! I'd best conduct the ritual in my secret cellar so I don't bring the smell of death into my living room... I'm all out of clementine-scented candles.
