ku1sorcery (can be performed by either men or women) that involves pulling a person's spirit and will cast a spell so they will get sick and/or die. If a person has done something wrong to another person the wronged person can buy someone to do sorcery. The sorcerer will join with other sorcerers and they will get together in the spirit world and call the man's spirit. At this time there may be a small animal that walks by which is the embodiment of the man's spirit. They will kill the animal and then at the time they have determined, the man will get sick. When the man gets sick, his brothers will meet with him to find out if he has done wrong to anyone that could have caused this sickness. If they are able to restore the relationship the man will most likely get better.sanguma4.9.4Miracle, supernatural power
