Each spirit has its documented office (riches, love, storms, invisibility, resurrection, opening every lock...) and — the part I am most happy with — its ACTUAL character as drawn by hand in red and green ink in L'Art Magique (Wellcome MS.983, ~1709), shown next to a clean vectorised version. Each sigil is the one the manuscript itself labels with that spirit's name and number, so nothing is guessed.
Offices transcribed from L'Art Magique (public domain) and collated with the 17th-century De Secretis manuscripts (SLUB Dresden N.91 and others). Three-layer honesty: documented, [reconstructed], and modern kept apart. Historical and educational.
