A hand cut from the corpse of a murderer, called a "Scuttling Hand" or "Hand of Glory," is well known by necromancers and magisters alike for its magical properties. It is a common ingredient in spells, but it has other, more amusing, uses. Vampires have perfected a way of reanimating these hands for use as assistants, attendants, and even familiars. They are only capable of causing a paltry amount of damage in a fight but can be used as a distraction at a vital moment.[1a]
