Brief description

These casters have an extremely bad reputation among orcs and Jurans. This is due not so much to their active use of necromancy, as to the fact that they have learned to summon and control demons. After all the horrors that orcs and Jurans had to endure, even a useful and controllable demon evokes exclusively negative emotions. Among other peoples, they are treated more tolerantly (with the exception of apocalyptics), since these casters rarely cause trouble, preferring to study demons, the worlds they inhabit, methods of summoning and control.
