As Mr. Kind invoked his powers, sigils glowed with a faint, pulsating light. Flanked by two of King Paimon's familiars, his eyes gleamed with anticipation. With a subtle gesture, he beckoned them forth, and they responded, their forms coalescing from the surrounding shadows. Like wraiths materializing from the darkness, they took shape, their eerie visages reflecting the eldritch power that coursed through them.
The familiars appeared as crouching, bent shadowy, cat-like in their movements, creatures. The impish long limbed forms, pulsing with eldritch light. Seemingly made of coalescing smoke, thick like burnt scentless rubber vapors, and void-like spaces. That bore glowing embers floating among the motes of starlight in the not entirely real substance. Chain-like tails, claws, and spines, the winged Gaunts stalked forward, their more shadow than substance forms, gaining substance.
Thin, and black, with bat-like wings and a long, spiny tail. They have no facial features, and their skin is smooth and rubbery.. With a final word, Mr. Kind stood as a master of the creatures forming around him, his ambitions soon to be realized with the aid of King Paimon's familiars.
"He can bestow dignitaries and provide familiars against enemies while binding anyone resisting him in his own chains." Daily kind smiles as he speaks.
The first King of Hell that Mr. Kind bargains with is Paimon. Paimon is known as a powerful entity who holds vast knowledge and abilities. He teaches all arts, philosophy, and sciences, unveiling secret truths and mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water. Paimon can reveal the depths of the mind and answer any inquiry the conjurer desires. Furthermore, he grants good familiars, bestows dignities, and binds individuals to the conjurer's will.
In the Abramelin tradition, Paimon's powers are extensive.
