He took off the goblin-made amulet he had around his neck, and froze. Unsure whether he really wanted to do it. He took a deep breath, opened the amulet and took his wand.

He opened the ruby, splitting it by the middle crack, revealing the smallest vial in existence at its core, filled with a few drops of blood. With a silent spell, he extracted a drop that floated up until it coated the tip of his wand.
