ignited spheres,” one of the “seven phantoms of
flame,” Yà liè
Originally a demon from Chaldean demonology, Ariel (“lion of God”) is now considered to be one of the FALLEN ANGELS, formerly
of the Order of Virtues. He is said to be one of
the retrograde spirits, moving against the regular

The seven spirits of the Abyss who live in the
bowels of the earth are considered to be greater
than all other demons in their collective power
and in the terror and havoc they can cause.
Among their powers is the ability to cause earthquakes, affect the economy, assist in finding hidden treasures, foretell the future, and have knowledge of the past. The spirits of the Abyss are
overseen by the angelic overlord Michael, and
they are continually thwarted by the seven gods
of the planets who govern the universe.
