However, the hex was dangerous so it's not like he would cast it whenever he wanted. But, despite the danger of casting it, Orion was willing to take the risk if it meant gaining more protection for him and his family. He knew he had to be careful with the spell and hex to avoid making them too obvious or firm. So, he made them gradual and subtle, making it unlikely for other vampires to realize what was happening.

However, Orion knew this alone was insufficient to ensure his safety. He also cast a powerful hex over the rings, which would cause death to anyone who attempted to harm Orion or his family. This would deter potential threats and ensure the calls would not be used against him. The best use of the curse however was that all the energy of the vampire's that died while wearing the rings would get transferred to a ring that he had made specifically for this. It also took a tiny bit of energy from them on a daily basis. So little in fact, that it would be impossible for them to notice. But, if his business grew in the future, that would mean tens if not hundreds of vampires wearing his rings. Which would also mean that he would have an inexhaustible magical battery all for himself at his fingertips ready to be used however he liked.

Orion developed a plan to ensure his safety before handing the rings to Slater. He needed to ensure that Slater wouldn't betray him or use them for nefarious purposes. Using his vast knowledge of magic, Orion imbued each ring with a subtle loyalty spell that would gradually make any vampire who wore the ring unknowingly more loyal to him. This would ultimately bring them under his control.

Orion knew that revealing his true identity could jeopardize his plans with Slater, so he devised a plan to use magic to conceal his appearance and identity. He spent countless hours researching and practicing the spells he would need to transform himself into someone else.

As he hit the send button, Orion couldn't help but feel a rush of anticipation. He knew this meeting could start a valuable partnership to give him access to the supernatural world's secrets and knowledge. However, he also knew he had to be careful, as the wrong move could have disastrous consequences.

Finally, as the first light of dawn filtered through his window, Orion set the grimoire aside and collapsed onto his bed, exhausted but exhilarated. He had gained a wealth of knowledge and power.

The talisman was a beautiful gold chain, delicately crafted and adorned with a small amethyst. At first glance, it appeared to be a fashionable accessory, but Gloria explained to Orion that it had a powerful magical purpose. She told him that every witch, whether young or old, needed a talisman to serve as a focus for their power and to protect them from harm.

But what fascinated Orion the most was the topic of sacrificial magic, Hoodoo, and Voodoo.
