To dispose of a poppet without harming the person it represents, it is necessary to sever the magical link to the person. This is done by "unmaking" the doll. The first step is taking its Name. Address the doll as if it were the person it represents, then tell it "You are not [person]." Repeat this statement as a chant as you take the doll apart. Carefully remove any "facial features" you might have added and put them aside. Cut away the seams that hold the doll together and remove the stuffing. If you can find the nail parings or hair etc. from the person, then remove them as well. Otherwise, just spread the stuffing out. The poppet is now "unmade" and no longer affects the spell recipient. The components can be disposed of in whatever manner you like, but should never be used for any other magical purpose.
