Miseria

A miseria is neither summoned nor sent. Premeditation, betrayal and a closed room occasionally raise one on the spot, and its form comes from the details of the original murder. It repeats the same murder in the same manner on the creature that most resembles the original victim. The legal codes of four worlds have a procedure for it, and the procedure begins with sealing the room.
