Governing waters and armed ships, raising stormy seas and the appearance of ships, and causing putrefying wounds. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot names Vepar with the alternative Separ and describes a mermaid guiding the waters and ships laden with armour. His account gives wounds three days to putrefy, but also adds that they may be healed with diligence. The 1904 passage retains the fatal wounds, the three-day interval and twenty-nine legions, while giving arms, armour and ammunition as the ships’ cargo. [2][1]
Vepar guides armed vessels, raises storms and makes the sea seem full of ships. The same office inflicts wounds whose corruption has a stated three-day course. Focalor’s maritime powers centre on drowning people and overturning warships; Vepar also creates the appearance of a fleet and carries the threat from the water into an injury sustained on the body. [2][1][3]
