Enslavery is without question the most dangerous art within Imperian. It
involves the summoning of entities from the Demon Planes. You risk your life
and your very soul in dealing with them, for they are powerful and not to be
trifled with.
To gain the services of a demon, you must first summon a demonic entity from
the demon plane. Once done, you may attempt to ENSLAVE (entity). If the entity
feels you are weak, it will attempt to destroy you.
After you have finished your enslavement, you will see, if you type PACTS, what
pacts you have made with entities. If you have a pact made, you may call upon
the aid of that entity by doing SUMMON (entity). In some cases, the entity
itself will come, and in some cases it will send its minions to assist you.
When an entity is summoned, it will, in most cases, remain in the land for a
full day. There are, however, ways to send it back to its infernal realm
prematurely. BANISH (entity) will accomplish this if it is your wish, while
others may have abilities that allow them to drive the entity off. An entity
cannot be killed (though an entities minions can be). It will only be driven
back to the Demon Plane if it falls into a state that would kill a mortal.

Tarot is the occult skill of inscribing magickal cards with various inks in
order to create a powerful image. Each of the major arcaana of the Tarot deck
is represented here. To use the skill, you must first find some blank tarot
cards. Then, you may INSCRIBE (#) BLANK WITH (image). You must have the
ability in order to use it. Inscribing takes intense concentration, so you
must cease most activities while doing this.
Once you have a card, you must CHARGE (card type). Once it is charged, you
FLING (card type) at (target)/ground. Some cards require you to fling the card
at a target, some at the ground.
Tarot cards are usually stored in decks. Each deck can store up to 6 different
kinds of card. You can use IND/OUTD (card) to put cards in and take cards out
of your deck(s). For example: OUTD MAGICIAN will find a deck with that type
and take one out (if you have one). Also, to see a listing of all the cards
in all your decks, you may use DECKLIST (or DL for short).

Noctu is one of the core skills of the dreaded Noctusari. In addition to the
foul skills of demonology found within Enslavery, Noctu allows the
practitioner additional power from the realm of the Demons. By drinking the
blood of slaughtered beings and infusing their lifeforce, the Noctusari are
able to manipulate the magick from the demon realm.
