Spirit annihilation Spirit annihilation was a divine magic spell available to priests of Bane , the Black Hand . It completely destroyed the spirit of a dying or recently dead creature so it could never return or reveal information via " speak with dead " . After Bane ' s supposed death in the Year of Shadows , 1358 DR , Cyric granted spells to Banite priests for a decade , so it was possible this spell could be found within the church of Cyric . Otherwise , the only sources for this spell were scrolls penned in previous centuries and hidden in former Banite centers of power . Effects . This spell effectively removed a spirit from all planes of existence , preventing it from reaching the Outer Planes and the afterlife . It was primarily used by priests of Bane on their victims as they were dying or shortly after death to prevent them from being questioned by " speak with dead " spells . The victim ' s spirit got one chance to resist destruction or else it was forever lost , unable to be queried , " raised " , " reincarnate d " , or " resurrected " . The casting cleric had to touch the body of the victim while casting this spell and the victim had to be near death or dead for only a few minutes . After that , the spirit escaped to the afterlife and could not be attacked by this spell . The force of this spell utterly destroyed a spirit ' s identity , memories , and personality , but its raw energy could theoretically be channeled into some other evil use . The body remained unchanged and could still be used to create a mindless undead creature . Components . This spell required only verbal and somatic components , including touching the body of the victim while the spell was being cast .

Valindra Shadowmantle Valindra Shadowmantle was an Overwizard of the Host Tower of the Arcane and Master of the North Tower responsible for the Brotherhoods operations in the northern quadrant of Faerûn . Later , she became an important player in the politics of rebuilt Neverwinter . Personality . Valindra never felt the same respect for community that other moon elves shared . She grew into a self - absorbed individual who cared little for anything that wasn ' t connected to her own interests or goals .

She seemed to enjoy being reminded of her beauty and she appeared to be sweet at times . But her instability grew over time and she became more unstable and aggressive in combat - not caring if allies got caught in the cross fire . During her travels with the fanatics of Asmodeus under the command of Thay she showed that she was fully willing and hoping to join in the ranks of Szass Tam . Using a powerful rich - red ruby scepter of Asmodeus that was given to her by Szass Tam and with the prayers of the cultists , she called forth a pit fiend called Beealtimatuche whom in the end was responsible for the death of Bruenor Battlehammer . She was cast below ground in her wraith form by Jarlaxle and as she did so she swore to murder Jarlaxle , Drizzt Do ' Urden , and Dahlia Sin ' felle . Appendix . Notes . In " Neverwinter Nights " , a non - lich elf by the name of " Valindra Shadowmantle " appears during the infiltration of the Host Tower of the Arcane .

Faram was destroyed but the magic released both destroyed the temple and filled Fzoul ' s body with a massive amount of magical energy . Fzoul knew that the energy his body now contained would soon kill him so he began work on a ritual to expunge it . On Mirtul 3 , from an altar in the ruined northern section of Zhentil Keep , Fzoul sacrificed many captured Cyricists and Zhents loyal to Manshoon to fuel his ritual .
