The Teacher
N's services come with more than just cause and effect, His presence comes with favors and gifts before sacrifices are offered, this allows for somewhat of an entrapment in which a favor is offered and a price is required after. To those easily swayed this comes at a high cost, as His gifts are tempting and alluring, yet the cost is great and the possibility of an inability to pay the collateral may lead to a magnitude of repercussion.
It is advised not to invoke this particular demon for favors, only to call upon Him in a curiosity of knowledge and the unique presence He offers, a befriending unlike any others, as He does not shy from revealing His cause and creation.
Those that do call upon Him may expect to be taught rhetoric, manipulation, divination, necromancy, revelations of matters and mind, the conjuration of beauty, both the attention of the sexes and physical alteration of one's structure, revenge magick, and other practices He extends.
