Narquin’s Hand of Acquisition

What's it called? Narquin’s Hand of Acquisition (in short, NHA)

What does it do? Well, this spell (one of a kind with the Dismal Digit of Doom) will allow you to reanimate a dead body's hand, so that it can do the easy task of fetchting items for you that might be lying in the next-door rooms. That sums it up, really.
As to its use, it might come handy (*snarf, snarf*) for retrieving Endorfin shields or choice weapons without having to re-enter the combat arena, but otherwise, I consider it a toy spell in the main, and don't employ it much.

Where is it? You're talking about dead bits and pieces here, so the spell aptly lies inside the Ae Thouesand and Onne Thyngs ae Boye cann Do with Corpse Partes grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? What do you think? A dead whale? A cup of sherry? No, of course not. A hand. From a dead body. And it is obviously consumed in the process.

What skills do I need? Convoking, Healing, Animating

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:

You project your thoughts into your hand and think ethereal.
You use magical energy to repair the tendons and other necessary portions of the hand.
You hold out your hand and hold the corpse’s hand in it.
The hand levitates out of your hand and looks curiously at you

Help Information:

This spell lets you animate the hand of a dead person and force it to nick stuff from nearby rooms.

Notes:

Once you've done a succesful cast, you will also get the following 'directing' message:

Use ‘grab’ to grab things. You command the hand typing "grab *item* from *direction*"
