Editing Devil

A '''Devil '''is a type of fiend exclusive to the [[The Ten Hells|ten layers of hell]]. Devils work in a structured and lawful heirarchy, following under the commands of a more powerful devil, this distinguishes them from the similarly named [[demons|<nowiki/>]][[demon]], who is instead a creature of utmost chaos and panic. 

== Pacts ==
Devils are notably known for their ability to create pacts with mortals, binding them to their word with evil divine energy. Such pacts are known as either '''Pact Insidious '''or '''Pact Certain. '''

=== Pact Insidious ===
In a Pact Insidious, a devil promises to provide certain benefits for a mortal signatory in exchange for specified reciprocal favors. It does not explicitly bind the mortal’s soul to [[Ten Hells|the ten hells]], nor does it require a statement of allegiance to any particular devil. However, a Pact Insidious does  typically have fine print or other vague statements that allow the devil to get away with particularly nasty repercussions that can ruin the signatory's life. 

A contract of this type is written to deliver its promises in stages. To reap the next stage of benefits, the signatory must perform a new service for the devil. The acts are typically [[Soul#Corrupting Acts |soul corrupting]] and ultimately wind up in the signatory damning himself to hell after all.

=== Pact Certain ===
The more well known pact, a '''Pact Certain '''is also known as "selling your soul to the devil". When signing a Pact Certain, the signatory binds their soul to the [[Ten Hells|ten hells]] in an instant, preventing any possible afterlife except for one in which the signatory's [[soul]] will serve [[Asmodeus]] and his devils for all eternity.
