In the midst of battle, you slit your foe's juglar vein, spraying streams of
warm blood. It's all as if you were in a dream - as the blood splatters
slower, and slower, until you seem to be viewing a picture perfect murder
scene. And then you realize, time has stopped.

Phenex steps from the shadows. Now more visible and more real than ever.
Phenex looks more human-like and less grotesque. He speaks to you..

Phenex says, 'I come to you, my master. Our bond is stronger than ever. You
can now call for me. I cannot stay in your world forever but I may help you
spill the blood of our enemies.'

Then Phenex grabs the wrist which you wield the Dagger of Last Rites. The
dagger then glows and begins to radiate waves of energy.
He then disappears.

You find yourself back in battle; time rapidly speeds back up to a normal
battle cadence. You follow through the the dagger, visciously beheading your
foe in a merciless act of cruelty.

Your bond with Phenex becomes stronger as you reach demonic bond level 4.
Phenex now helps control your strikes and can help you critically behead foes.
The blade now strongly radiates psionic energy when you strike.
