Morail, Sixteenth Servitor of Duke Syrach

Morail is the sixteenth servitor of Duke Syrach mentioned within the Grimorium Verum, the Grimorie of Pope Honorius, the Dictionnaire Infernal, and the Secrets of Solomon. Like the other demons within his hierarchy, there is a discernible lack of historical and specific information regarding this demon within demonology circles. Even the Grimorie of Pope Honorius only makes cursory reports of the ritual which is used in summoning him. The Plangiere edition of the Grimorium Verum states the following regarding him: “Morail can make anything invisible.”

The office of this demon has to do with invisibility and concealment. At the request of the conjuror, he is able to hide both humans and other things from perception by other people. His abilities can therefore be harnessed and leveraged into an advantage for the conjuror. It is however not known whether Morail is of malevolent, benevolent, or of an indifferent nature towards human beings – likewise it is unknown whether he is exclusively diurnal or nocturnal. Like the other servitors of Duke Syrach, Morail is shrouded in mystery as a result of the oblivion surrounding his true nature.

It is obvious that Morail appears in the lower end of the hierarchy. This does not however take away from his potency as an otherworldly being. By properly conjuring and showing respect, the risk of malevolence is reduced while increasing the likelihood of a desirable outcome. The ritual for summoning this demon is outlined in the Grimorie of Pope Honorius. Referred to as “nailing”, it requires one to go into a graveyard to find a nail from an old coffin for conducting the ritual. This nail is then used to summon Morail in an act colloquially referred to as “nailing”. This ritual is also tied to the demons Guland and Surgat and can also be used to summon them.

History

Like the others within this hierarchy, the first time that this demon is mentioned with recorded history was in 1517 during the publication of the Grimorium Verum by Alibek the Egyptian. There are otherwise no correlations with ancient Graeco-Roman or old Middle-Eastern narratives. It is plausible that Morail’s true identity was lost in history with the spread of Christianity during the Middle Ages. He may have been an ancient pagan god who was demonized as a result of the aforementioned spread of Christian ideology.

Description

Rank: Sixteenth Servitor of Duke Syrach

Gender: Male

Appearance

The conjuror should expect the demon to be invisible upon summoning. They will experience a rush of demonic energy at the height of the ritual as opposed to physically perceiving the demon. It is noteworthy that the Grimorium Verum does not make overt descriptions of Morail’s physical manifestation and there are no credible reports within major grimories. This further adds to the mystery surrounding this entity.

Attributes of Morail

• Morail is able to make the conjuror and anything else they wish invisible upon request. His office is invisibility and concealment from the human eye.

Ritual Time: It is presently unknown whether this demon is diurnal, nocturnal, or both.

Items Required

• Nail from an old coffin
• Stone
• The characters of Surgat, Morail, and Guland
• Virgin parchment

Precautions:

• As with every other demon, it is necessary to accord this demon its respect. This not only prevents / reduces malevolent intent but also increases the likelihood of desired outcomes.
• Care should also be taken by the conjuror to protect themselves from otherworldly energies. This is done through mentally envisioning a protection circle, opening, and entering it.
• Over-reliance on demonic energy is not advisable as it has been posited to affect one at the psychological level.

Steps

• The conjuror should retrieve a nail from an old coffin after locating a cemetery.
• They should then say the following prayer: “Nails, I take you, so that you may serve to turn aside and cause evil to all persons whom I will. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
• The characters of Morail, Surgat, and Guland should be drawn on the virgin parchment. The following words should then be said: “Pater noster upto in terra” (Our father who art on earth).
• The nail is then to be driven down the middle of the virgin parchment. The stone is used to drive the nail all the way in order to reduce the ease of removal. The following prayer should then be said: “Curse evil until I remove thee.”
• The virgin parchment is then to be covered with dust – it may be important to remember this location because the spell can only be reversed with the removal of the nail.
• The following prayer should then be said if the conjuror wishes to reverse the spell: “I remove thee, so that the evil which thou has caused shall cease. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” The nail can be removed when this prayer is said.
• The characters of Morail, Surgat, and Guland can then be erased before the removal of the nail. It is required that this reversal procedure be done with the opposite hand to the one first used during the first step of invoking Morail.
