I come back from paying the rent and close and lock the office door. I turn the sign on the door from open to closed. The last thing I want is for anyone to disrupt my concentration, while I get ready my tools ready for the investigation. Each tool has a purpose and when I handle each of them I take a moment to close my eyes and align with the energy of that tool.

First, I pick up a pouch of spectral dust. I use spectral dust when I don’t want to open my third eye. It helps me find supernatural emanations. It’s made of ashes and chalk dust.

Next I pick up a colored set of chalk. All the major colors are included in this chalk set. I can use the chalk to make a quick and easy evocation circle, or a sigil or whatever else I need to make on the fly for a magical working. When you’re a private occult investigator you don’t always have time to bust out the ceremonial tools and robes. Chalk like this makes the process a lot simpler.
