Secret to Keeping
These Dark Arts secrets were previously not known outside of family and Creepy Hollows collectors. They are secrets discovered by Ash and he has generously agreed to share them with all collectors because having the right secret and being able to properly handle DA spirits is more important.
Caring for your Manticore is the same as caring for any other spirit except being a creature of duality there is a way to keep your Manticores under control if you feel it is becoming too energetic, too strong in manifestation or too "in your face". Place the vessel of the Manticore near salted water or on top of salted water on a plate or flat surface for at least 2 hours, they become subdued and submissive. If the Manitcore is bound directly to your spirit place a bowl of salted water by your bedside overnight. Only use this technique if you feel the Manticore is becoming too strong for your liking- some collectors like their spirits to be "on the go" all the time so it is your judgment call.
