Demon Curing Ritual

The demon curing ritual is a ritual that can be used to cure a demon without any significant damage to the vessel. It has been performed successfully once.

Procedure & Incantation
The procedure was originally invented by Father Max Thompson back in the 1950s. It involved purifying one's blood by confessing his sins. The demon is trapped in a devil's trap drawn on any consecrated ground. The purified blood is drawn into a syringe and plunged into the demon's neck for eight times, once every hour. The ritual's effect is not instantaneous. Until the fourth hour, the demon is still the one in control. It was after the sixth dose, any change was visible. After the eighth dose, the person performing the ritual has to recite an incantation : ''Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus. Hanc animam redintegra, lustra! Lustra!''. His palm is slit and the palm is placed against the demon's mouth. White light engulfs the demon and a second later, the demon is cured. The vessel becomes human again though they did seem to remember bits of the possession.

After Effects
Although Father Max Thompson was a little weak from losing blood every hour, the after effects on Sam were worse as he was already quite weak, due to completing the first two trials.
