Lodestone of Darkness

An infernal lodestone is planted inside a binding circle, summoning the most powerful of all spirits as it glows.

When a Lodestone is placed inside a binding circle, and a Necromancer recites words that haven't been spoken since the Fall of Nehekhara, then the Wight Kings emerge from their burial mounds. Clad in the raiments of war, the wraiths leave their cairns and the Hexwraiths will gallop into existence, all drawn to the master that controls the lodestone.
