Wow! A tradition ...

Yours seems more fleshed out than mine, though ...

Gbaji?

I feel that Gbaji/Nysalor would lack internal power. This fits with sacrifices to energize it.

Gbaji fits better ...

1. In my mind someone must have sacrificed to it in order to allow it to manifest powers (I could be wrong). Who?
2. There are lots of lunar heroes who want that hand! (plot twist)
3. I don't think it can be destroyed. Destroy the summoner? Eat it (if you are a troll)? Summon a darkness spirit to contain/imprison? Put it somewhere really tricky to get out of (hell: c.f. the Rising Dark entry to hell, a volcano?).

More questions than answers I'm afraid.
