hard bargaining, adherence to the letter (not necessarily
the spirit) of previous pacts, and a dedication to evil
(shown by deeds not words), will be better received. Pacts
which limit the creator’s mastery, e.g. the Demon to be
released after a set period, limiting orders to specific
classes of commands (i.e. no mundane chores), or the
entity not being restrained by a Glyph of Control, may
appear to assist in gaining agreement. Most Demons,
however, will consider such concessions to be a sign of
weakness, and begin plotting their supposed master’s
downfall even before they are imbedded. GMs may choose
to abstract the bargaining by a Diplomacy maneuver – see

Unsurprisingly Evil spell users of all realms of power
favor Demonic Empowerment.
7.2.5 LIFE EMPOWERMENT
Life Empowerment is the most morally suspect of all
the techniques for granting intelligence to artificial entities.
It involves the transfer of the soul and mind of a
living (or dying) creature – the original body will deteriorate
and die (unless magical precautions are taken)
leaving the spirit trapped in an artificial body. Life Empowerment
can be used on the whole range of living
