Infernal Evaction

Infernal evocation is a ritual to summon a devil, involving conditions such as invincible obstinacy, a conscience prone to remorse and fear, ignorance, blind faith, and a false idea of God, along with specific magical tools and actions to follow. This ritual is performed with a deep belief in the devil's existence. The ritual may be performed in particular locations like cemeteries or abandoned temples, and is performed after specific days and fasts. It involves items such as a black seamless robe, a leaden cap, candles, a magical sword, a fork, and various other sacrificial objects, all arranged in a complex magical circle. The ritual is dangerous and may involve the sacrifice of an individual, leading to hideous and dark outcomes. The text does not specify a name for the ritual, so it is referred to generally.
