Description: "I say to you againe, doe not call up Any that you cannot put downe; by the Which I mean, Any that can in Turne call up somewhat against you, whereby your Powerfullest Devices may not be of use. Ask of the Lesser, lest the Greater shall not wish to answer, and shall commande more than you." -- H. P. Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
Description: So much to say about this design. Let me put the Harry Potter thing to bed first: I got sorted into Hufflepuff, and if you've read the supplemental material, you'll know that bravery is absolutely a characteristic of this humble house; we're just not as showy about it as Gryffindor. But, badgers, man! Badgers mean a lot to me, and they have even before I was sorted- I have a little figurine of a badger that was my card protector when I was playing professional poker. They don't look like much, but they're fierce when provoked. I think the badger is a great mascot to have.
Description: Vitriol, also known as sulfuric acid, was a powerful chemical substance that was used in alchemy as a solvent and a purifying agent. It was believed to have transformative properties, both in the physical and spiritual realms.The final part of the Vitriol acronym, "Occultum Lapidem," means "hidden stone." It refers to the Philosophers' Stone, the mythical substance that was believed to have transformative powers and was the ultimate goal of alchemical transmutation.
