Look pal, if you're serious about summoning the patron you're gonna need something a little more powerful than what you're carrying.
Technically I'm not selling you anything illegal, this is just a grey-area curse between two consenting adults.
If I sell you more than one of these it stops being a misdemanor, so pick wisely.

Is this the gateway to darker arts? Eh.
Remember: you're gonna wanna drink one gallon of water per curse.
