Discovering events across time, granting dignities and prelacies, securing friends' and enemies' favour, and answering about divinity and creation. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot’s Orobas moves from a horse to a human likeness and answers concerning divine power, creation and events in time. The Goetia retains that progression, twenty legions, honours and favour with friends and enemies. Both accounts emphasise fidelity: Orobas deceives no one in the earlier text, and the later passage calls him very faithful to the exorcist. [2][1]
Orobas protects the questioner from temptation by other spirits as well as giving truthful answers. His fidelity governs the continuing encounter, extending beyond the accuracy of any one response. This explicit trust distinguishes him from spirits such as Furfur, whose truthful speech depends on being brought under constraint within the triangle. [2][1]
