is possible.
According to modern demonologists, humans always
have free will to revoke a diabolic pact. Repenting will
render a pact useless.

Padiel DEMON among the 31 AERIAL SPIRITS OF SOLO-
MON. Padiel is the second-ranking spirit of the east and
rules the south as king. He governs 10,000 spirits by day
and 20,000 by night, and several thousand more in addition.
The lower spirits can be trusted. According to Solomon,
the only powers they have are those conferred upon
them by Padiel. They can be conjured only with Padiel’s
permission.
power to bewitch in malevolent ways. The Pairikas exert
their baleful influences on the elements, cattle, and all
vegetation. AHRIMAN uses them to bewitch the stars in
order to prevent rain and cause bad harvests, famine,
and sterility. They also cause meteor showers.
palis In Arabian lore, a desert DEMON that vampirizes
people by licking the soles of their feet until their BLOOD
is drained. There is no known description of the palis.
The palis waits until desert travelers are asleep and then
licks their feet. To prevent attack, travelers should sleep
with the soles of their feet touching the soles of another
person’s feet. Salt sprinkled around will repel the demon.
Pamersiel DEMON among the 31 AERIAL SPIRITS OF SOLO-
MON. Pamersiel is the chief of the east and serves under
CARNESIEL. He has 1,000 spirits under his command,
which must be called only during the daytime and with
great care, for they are stubborn and arrogant. Pamersiel’s
primary dukes are Anoyr, Madriel, Ebra, Sotheano,
Abrulges, Ormenu, Itules, Rablion, Hamorphiel, Itrasbiel,
and Nadrel. Pamersiel and his dukes are evil and false, and
not to be trusted. However, they can be commanded to
drive away other evil spirits who haunt any place or house.
The Lemegeton, a GRIMOIRE, gives instructions for summoning
Pamersiel and his dukes. The ritual must be done
in the most secret room of a house, or a hidden grove,
wood, or occult place. Other persons must not be able to
observe the ritual. The place should be airy. The spirits
can be summoned into a stone or glass and bound into the
objects. A crystal stone must measure four inches in diameter
and be set on a table consecrated to King Solomon.
The SEAL of Pamersiel must be worn upon the breast.
Paimon FALLEN ANGEL and ninth of the 72 SPIRITS OF
SOLOMON. Prior to his fall, Paimon was in the angelic
order of dominations. He was conceited with his own
knowledge and fell with LUCIFER. In HELL, he rules as a
king and has 200 LEGIONs of DEMONs under his command.
He appears as a crowned man seated on a camel, preceded
by many musicians with trumpets, cymbals, and
other instruments. He has a roaring voice. He teaches all
arts, sciences, and secrets; subjugates people to the will of
the magician; and gives good FAMILIARs. He will give the
answer to any question. He is observed in the northwest.
