Title: A Manuscript on curing Vampirism
Author: Selayna Silverleaf
--Editor's note: The original title of the Manuscript is: "The Manuscipt Unearthed Regarding the Artifact Status"--
The *unreadable* of cleansing is erupted to have been created by the late archmage Tarantus during a time when vampires from another world ravaged Sosaria. It was broken and the pieces scattered when

The artifact is able to
'cleanse' vampirism
from a subject's soul
thus restoring their
humanity. The
procedure is not
without a price, or
side effects. The
process requires a
person who will
"vouch' for the
vampire. The vampire
and the one vouching
for afflicted must
hold hands and touch
the harp, reciting a
binding oath. A bard
must play the harp
one time after each
oath is recited, then
the magics within the
artifact then cleanse
the vampiric
corruption from the
vampire's soul.
Regretably, the cleansing process leaves the vampire with an incomplete soul that requires the pieces to somehow be filled in. This is where the true cost of the procedure comes in for both parties as the artifact then binds their souls together so that they share the parts that have been cleansed away from the vampire. The effects of the binding are quite irrevocable and are as follows: Both party's fates will be bound forever, for good or for ill.
It is interesting to note that there are some positive side effects of the procedure. The bond is sufficiently powerfull that it prevents either party from being turned into a vampire, from being sacrificed, or from having their souls corrupted save through their own actions... Additional benefits include the pair being able to draw on eachother's strenght at need and perhaps because of this the pair is almost impossible to kill singlehandedly. Indeed this last was apparantly why the artifact was disassembled to prevent it's "abuse."
Here be the oaths
Vampire: I (name) do hereby renounce my vampiric nature and repudiate the corrpution it has lain on my soul. I further more acknowledge my need and desire to have my soul bound to (voucher), irrevocably joining our fates for all of eternity.
Voucher: I (name) do hereby vouch safe for the good conduct of (vampire's name) for all of time and furthermore, as proof of my intentions, I agree that my soul shall be bound ever more to theirs for good or ill.
