Also recorded as Forcalor, Furcalor
Slaying or drowning people, overturning ships of war, and controlling winds and seas; the account also allows contrary commands preventing harm. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot assigns Focalor three legions; the 1904 text gives thirty, and Mathers’s note records three in several codices. Both English accounts describe a human figure with gryphon wings who governs winds and seas, drowns people and overturns warships. The count changes, while the maritime power and winged appearance continue. [2][1]
The earlier passage says Focalor hopes to return to the seventh throne after a thousand years and calls that hope deceived. The Goetia records the hope without that final judgement. Both accounts also say that a command to spare others restrains his destructive office. The figure combines remembered celestial standing, power over unstable waters and the possibility of withholding harm. [2][1]
