Deep under Witch's Rock, Miranda, Liliana and Natasha are led blindfolded to a special ritual chamber, where a cauldron and several bowls have been set up. Natasha is there as an observer, and to watch out for Liliana's welfare.
Sitting across from one another and holding hands over the cauldron between them, Lili and Miranda sit through the invocation of the spirits and the adding of various things to the cauldron, and then breathe in the steam from it, which makes them dizzy.
Lili is asks to provide some blood, which she does. Isolde mixes it with something else to make it sticky, and uses it to draw symbols on the throats of the lapi and the Eeee, and then draws out a thread of the stuff to connect the pair.
Everything goes dark, and there is a flash of energy along the thread from Lili to Miranda. Lili's eyes lose their glow (revealing blue irises) and Miranda's glow red instead. The transfer is only good for a day, and then the spirit will start to flow back to Liliana.
