What's it called? Myrandil's Mask of Death (in short, MMD)
What does it do? Here we have one of the nicer and funnier examples of toy spells (in this case, specially catered -both thematically and because of the primaries required- for those of the Midnight persuation. It is nevertheless quite easy to cast by anybody). Myrandil's Mask will, if I remember well, make your head temporarily shrunk and dissapear out of sight, and give you an overall wasted, (un)healthy and decaying zombie-look.
Sekiri's description mentions worms popping out of the eye sockets and saying 'hello', but even though I've used the spell quite a lot, I didn't ever get those funny emotes. As for its possible usefulness, it gives some taskmasters at low levels in the employed skills, and failures have the funny effect of making the component-head burst and do some damage (you included), which does have some minor utilities (like killing cats in Djelibeybi without being crocked).
Where is it? Being a necromantic trifle, it is to be found among the bits and pieces of the Ae Thouesand and Onne Thyngs ae Boye cann Do with Corpse Partes grimoire at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? A head. Not yours, mind you. Freshly severed. And an octogram.
What skills do I need? Enchanting, Healing, Summoning, Binding, Abjuring
Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:
You prepare to cast Myrandil's Mask of Death.
You place a human head in the middle of the octogram.
You imagine what it would take to re-grow the head, then reverse the process.
You send out your thoughts, trying to lure a nearby spirit near you.
The instant a careless spirit crosses the octogram’s boundaries, you grab it with all the force of your will.
You drain the spirit’s power and feed it into the head.
The head flares with green light and then crumbles into nothingness.
You feel your features twist, your skin wrinkle and your flesh move.
