AMDUSIAS

§ Introduction

Amdusias (Amdukias) is the Sixty-seventh Spirit in the Ars Goetia. His entry is delightfully weird: it blends music with arboreal bending, like a medieval special-effects department.

§ Grimoire Profile

Rank: Great Duke
Legions: 29
Attributed office: Music, bending trees, providing familiars

§ Appearance (Traditional Description)

He is described as appearing first like a unicorn, and later standing in human form "at the request" of the operator (as the text phrases it).

§ Powers and Attributions

• Causing the sound of trumpets and instruments (not immediately—oddly specific)
• Making trees bend and incline according to will
• Providing "excellent familiars" (a standard grimoire benefit category)

§ Historical and Practical Context

Amdusias can be read as the spirit of atmosphere: changing the "soundtrack" of a moment, and making rigid things become flexible.
