Jamie was always interested in sorcery. After spending the better part of two decades perusing aged, musty tomes and practicing his spellwork, he decides to request an audience with a mercurial demigod named Atrumistari. To do so, however, would require considerable time, resources, privacy, and personal sacrifice. To this end, he rents a derelict house in a secluded part of the Southern California foothills and seals most of the property with consecrated salt. Once the spell is begun, he cannot leave the seal for 9 months; it requires absolute commitment. Unfortunately for Jamie, he soon discovers that he is not alone in Waring House, and that Waring House is no stranger to rituals.
