Many-Fingered Hand
 |
This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
A Many-Fingered Hand is one type of Hand of Power, usually created by or with the aid a Spectral Hag. It may be used by a priest to call upon the power of evil spirits. It greatly increases the spellcasing powers of an evil priest, grants the ability to turn undead or command undead, and bestows protection from good so long as it burns. However, when the Hand finishes burning, the user risks a chance of having his/her spirit displaced and replaced by one inflicted with madness. Should the user's soul remain so displaced, the user dies after a day has passed.[1]
Legends and Rumors
Arcana purports the hand has the ability to conjure and bind spirits. If burnt on the night of a full moon, the Hand may burn for 13 days instead of hours. According to Moratty's Hymn to Madness, Alchon the Mad was able to restore the charges of the Many-Fingered Hand through the desecration of a holy site and the delivery of its congregation to madness.[1]
