A Many-Fingered Hand is one type of Hand of Power, usually created by or with the aid a Spectral Hag. It may be used by a priest to call upon the power of evil spirits. It greatly increases the spellcasing powers of an evil priest, grants the ability to turn undead or command undead, and bestows protection from good so long as it burns. However, when the Hand finishes burning, the user risks a chance of having his/her spirit displaced and replaced by one inflicted with madness. Should the user's soul remain so displaced, the user dies after a day has passed.[1]
