	As with many [[enchantment]] rituals, common elements include the consumption of food and drink; unlike many such rituals, it is common to use spoiled food or drink rather than wholesome sustenance. Unsurprisingly, the [[Naeve\|rune of hunger]] is often used, painted onto the skin especially the skin of the belly. Likewise an evocation of [[The Drowned Man]], or of carrion beasts such as crows, rats or even hyena may be appropriate. [[Navarr]] ritualists may mark the target with the blood of a [[draughir]],but usually only if one of the ritualists is of that [[lineage]].
