17: Emzhom

One of the peculiarities of moon magic is the socalled magic banning. Under the seal of secrecy the seventeenth head of the Moon sphere, Emzhom can give the mature magician exact information on this. He will reveal to the latter diverse quabbalistic and magic formulae, banning formulae, which can be used for a great variety of purposes. For instance, Emzhom knows banning formulae by which any enemy can be destroyed at once, or such formulae by which thieves are checked on their escape, so that they cannot make any further step with the stolen goods in hand, no matter where they are; banning formulae that make any attacker stiff and lifeless at an instant; banning formulae that at once put away any negative influence; banning formulae that render harmless the most furious beast, no matter whether in the air, on land or in the water. This head disposes of many other kinds of banning formulae. Of course, the magician to whom these banning formulae have been revealed will only make use of them in case of greatest danger. Emzhom is an intelligence much respected in the Moon sphere. All moon beings look up to him in awe.
