Dirt (DI) is a reagent used in the magical arts of Necromancy on Pagan.
Uses and History[edit]
Pagan[edit]
Dirt's properties of grounding and securing the plant life of the natural world allowed it to lend protective properties to necromantic spells which employed it. It was also utilized in the creation of golems, which were formed from elemental earth.
Earth[edit]
Dirt and soil occasionally feature in the magical traditions of Earth, particularly in Afro-Caribbean traditions, which frequently make use of graveyard dust in hoodoo and the manufacture of grisgris.
Ultima Online[edit]
In the Stygian Abyss expansion for Ultima Online, the Gargish magical school of Mysticism makes use of dirt as a reagent.
Lore[edit]
