The Seal
A circle containing a horizontal figure, arms crossed over chest in the pose of death. Above, a descending arc like a closing eyelid. Below, a series of short vertical lines like prison bars or grave fencing. The design is deliberately funereal.
Powers & Dominion
Causes a sleep so profound it resembles death — the sleeper's pulse and breathing become imperceptible. Useful for feigning death to escape enemies or for achieving trance states necessary for certain operations. The sleeper can be awakened only by the operator.
Required Offering
A white cloth folded in the shape of a burial shroud, placed over the seal. Proculo accepts offerings of cold water and bread — the provisions traditionally left for the dead.
