Key of the Caretaker

The Key of the Caretaker is a essential tool in Necromancy to create spells. It isn't a real key, but a metal pole with a small fake skull on the top. The Key is used on a closed puoch with the reagents and the right Words of Power to create the spell talisman.

The Avatar recieved the Key of the Caretaker from Vividos in Ultima VIII, after entering the order of the Necromants and bringing him the reagents Executionor's Hood and Dead Man's Elbows. With the key is his/her posession, the creation of spells became possible.
