Experiences with Ancient Text
After about 4 days of intense translations working on the Necronomicon, the Greek professor working with Father Quinn notes a ritual that details removing internal organs to gain immortality. The ritual leaves the brain, the seat of power, in the body, and the body can only be harmed if the brain is specifically targeted.
