Subject and contents
The table of contents for this book is not available online, so a brief description of each chapter is presented here.
- Introduction
- The Infernal Realm
- This chapter explains what the Infernal Realm is. It describes Infernal auras, including tarnished auras and corrupted auras. It describes Infernal regiones and the effects of Infernal warping, as well as the origins and effects of three degrees of Infernal vis.
- Sin and Temptation
- The Devil and the Origin of Demons
- The Infernal Legions
- Demons as Corrupters
- Demons as Deceivers
- Demons as Destroyers
- Corrupted Beasts
- Infernal Characters
Includes rules for Corruption Ability and its use.
- The Maleficia
- The Maleficia are Infernal powers that work, mechanically, somewhat similarly to Hermetic Arts. The caster combines one Unholy method (analogous to a Technique) and one Unholy power (analogous to a Form) to create Infernal effects.
- Ars Goetia
- The Goetic Arts deal with summoning spirits; most, but not all, are Infernally aligned. The Goetic Arts include summoning (goetic Art), ablating, binding, and commanding.
- Black Magic
- This chapter, contrary to what its title suggests, includes rules and background information for demon-hunters as well as diabolists. It includes Hermetic spells for dealing with demons. It describes cthonic magic, which straddles the boundary between the Magical and Infernal Realms, Goetic Magic, a Virtue that allows a magus to combine the Hermetic and Goetic Arts, and False Magic, a means by which Infernal powers can imitate other magical traditions.
- Infernal Traditions
- There are nine traditions, each described with a page or two of text and referring to rules from previous chapters.
- The Luciferans
- Strigae
- Witch-hammers
- Dark Gnostics
- The Dread Host
- The Mulhidun
- The Damhadh-duidsan
- The Ordo Vagorum
- The Witches of Thessaly
