Target Jury Winning Spell (1)

The following Jury Winning Powder’s goals are self-explanatory:

Asafetida

Courtcase root[*]

High John the Conqueror

Dried hydrangea blossoms

Vetiver Root

Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. This is particularly difficult with High John, which is a harder root than most. Place an entire High John between folded wax paper and smash it into chips with a hammer, before attempting to grind and powder.

If you’d like to extend the powder further, blend it into arrowroot powder.

There are two methods of obtaining benefits from Jury Winning Powder: sprinkle it around the jury box so that the jurors will have to step on or over it, or cast a ring of powder around brown or purple candles and burn them at home.

[*Courtcase root refers to galangal.]
