An informational comic - there is a large amount of text and only a few images.
Decades later, other summoners picked up the research and carried on, this time using two women convicted to death as the vessels for the spirit. They suspected that the mind of a dog was simply too small to contain a complex being such as a spirit. An intelligent human mind would be much more robust. Furthermore, they created another failsafe - modifying the spell to allow the spirit to move to another 'host' if its first was destroyed. This would prevent rampages if the host unexpectedly died. This ability is what would later give the spirit its colloquial name of 'Parasite'. they summoned the spirit into the first woman, who immediately seemed to lose basic motor function such as walking and comprehending spoken language. Her body movements were disorientated, like a newborn calf. she would pull herself along the ground with her arms. However, her body remained intact until her protracted death by dehydration.
An image of two women enclosed in a magic ward. One crawls on all fours, while another cowers.
Upon the host's death, the spirit was released and was drawn to the second woman, who had been confined to the warded room while the other withered and died. The second woman showed similar results - losing motor function and a slow but natural death. Upon her death the spirit was once more released and deteriorated in the warded room until it perished. The summoners described the movements of the women as 'like one, through injury, has lost the ability to walk and in adulthood must once again learn how to use their legs'
