Shax

Shax appears in the cataloging style of Western ceremonial-grimoire tradition (the goetic/Ars Goetia-style milieu) where nonhuman intelligences are listed by name, rank, command over legions, and enumerated powers. Modern occult reference compilations reproduce these entries (e.g., Thelemapedia's summary), presenting Shax as a ranked spirit within that hierarchical spirit cosmology.

The supplied grimoire-style summary does not provide a consistent or detailed physical description of Shax; the available source excerpt omits appearance information.

According to the referenced grimoire-style entry, Shax is said to have power over thirty legions and to be able to "take away the sight, hearing and understanding of any person under the [requester's] request" and to steal money. The entry records his rank as a Great Marquis (and as a Duke in some listings). These points are presented in concise catalog form rather than narrative detail.
