Description

"The Seventy-first Spirit is ... He is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances, all Men's and Women's Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at his Will. He can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in what part of the World they Will. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc..."

It's apparent that I like to take certain liberties with my monsters, especially when sourced from classic literature or grimoires. I can only imagine the fun (read: horror) of drawing this one again in the future.
