George's Tongue
Mystic
Basic
300 hours
This necromantic ritual involves skinning the face (including ears) off of a corpse & nailing it, along with the eyes & tongue, to a wall or tree. The face is able to see, hear, speak, and feel pain as though it was still alive; but it is compelled to be truthful with the necromancer. The sliced-away face may refuse to answer, or may be vague or ambiguous, but cannot actively lie. Note however, that the face can still reason and feel pain, and is aware of what is being done to it—or will be done to it. The ritual lasts until dawn or the necromancer releases it.
