Create Bulla

An ancient Roman spell for creating an amulet against possession, suitable for a child. The wizard crafts a small container of gold (for those who can afford it), lead, or leather. Ox blood, moly (a herb), honey, milk, and hair from the chosen recipient of the spell are mixed together in the container; the spell is then cast over the course of the night. Once complete, the bulla is placed around the target’s neck within one hour. As long as the target wears the bulla, they cannot be possessed by outside “forces.” When a child turns 14 (thus becoming an adult in Roman society), the bulla is believed to lose its efficacy.
