On Halloween night, light a single candle. Hold the trap in both hands. Compress the piston slowly, thinking of a fear or sadness you wish to expel. Lock the trigger. Then say aloud, “This I release.” Pull the ribbon. The piston’s outward motion symbolizes letting go, and the small payload (a dried leaf or pinch of salt) becomes a physical representation of what you have set free.
Do this 1-3 days before Halloween.
Select the character (or another compatible character that can equip hats).
Hold the folded paper over the open piston trap. Visualize the negative energy as a black spider crawling out of your heart, down your arm, and onto the paper.
