Mengilai:

* The Hidden Voice - Allows the penanggal to project their voice, making it difficult to figure out where exactly they are.
** Curse of Babel - Makes it difficult for a subject to talk, so that they cannot clearly describe something that has happened. Very similar to the Theban Sorcery ritual.
*** Unhinged Wail - Inflicts a target with a mild Derangement temporarily using the terrifying scream.
**** Shattering Cry - Turns the user's scream into something capable of causing physical harm, in the form of bashing damage.
***** Invisible Tongue - Uses an arcane frequency to absorb blood out of a target, allowing for feeding at range.

(To perform Mengilai, Maganda's head must separate from her body.)
