 ====== The Keen Art of Vulcan Binding ======
+A magical tradition that involves binding "Vulcans," which are a smokey type of fire spirit, into the form of weapons, which are then usually used in further rituals. A somewhat obscure tradition, there are still at least a few practitioners in existence who can do most or all of the rituals enumerated below.
+===== General Tradition Form =====
 The ritualist must find a vulcan (a type of smokey fire spirit), determine it's true name, do special rituals of clearing the mind, touch the vulcan (often resulting in burns, especially if great precautions are not taken), speak the true name, and bind it into the form of a weapon. These weapons are used in further rituals designed to do any number of things invented by clever spiritualists working in conjunction with willing vulcans. Undoubtedly more rituals than just the ones listed below are possible, and could be invented if proper time and care were taken.

 ===== Specific Known Rituals =====
+The titles of these rituals as they're shown below are those used in an accumulation of the rites known as The Ashen Tome. They are often known by other names locally, from histories, or in other writings.
 ==== Accursed Illusion of the Benevolent Sea Serpents ====
-The ritualist creates a bound vulcan trident or fishing spear. When stabbed into the water, steam rises up and bends light, creating an image of a pack of Zuzi, known to most people as magnificent sea drakes that bestow wishes upon those who can catch a ride on one. Those diving in after these serpents, however, will find themselves dragged under the waters by the steam, often to their deaths. Entire crowds on piers have been known to have been slain by this illusion.

-==== Cruel Consumer's Ritual of Misfortune ====
+==== Cruel Feaster's Ritual of Misfortune ====
 A bound vulcan knife is given to somebody who is to be punished, and they are taught the ritual that involves eating a live songbird using the knife to cut it apart just so. Instead of the great fortune that the teacher usually promises, the ritualist instead is beset by energetic forms of misfortune, often in the form of flying objects striking them. This curse lasts until the ritualist repents by doing a pennance assigned by a spirit designated by the one who bound the vulcan knife at the time of it's binding.
