Jim puffed in, out of breath, as he staggered in with a giant metal mirror.
"This... (puff) had better work... (puff) or I'll kill you!"
Ernie arrived soon after with a bottle of herbs, some gold dust, and a container of blood.
Rick smirked for a moment, before taking the mirror and lying it down in the middle of an odd arcane design on the floor. He took the blood and gold dust and mixed them, before using it to draw on the mirror. Then he dropped the herbal extract onto three of the corners and put the book on the fourth. Then he started to read aloud from the Book.
After a suitably impressive series of thuderous noises, flashing lights, odd smells, and all that, the entire room seemed to explode in light and then go completely dark. The end result?
