The transformation of base substance — outer matter or the inner soul — into a purified, perfected, or 'gold' state; the magnum opus as both laboratory practice and spiritual allegory.

Hagenti is described as transmuting metals into gold, which is a direct reference to alchemical transformation.

Attributing human characteristics, emotions, or form to the divine; embodied divine imagery.

The spirits are described with human attributes (speaking, teaching, appearing in human form) or hybrid forms combining human and animal traits.

Malevolent planetary rulers or demiurgic powers that govern the material world and obstruct the soul's ascent.

The entities are described as fallen ('Order of the Powers before his fall') rulers (Dukes, Kings) who govern specific domains or knowledge, resembling the concept of archonic powers.

The doctrine that human volition, cultivated by discipline and emancipated from passion and servitude, is the primary instrument of magical operation — will confirmed by persistent acts acquires causal power over self, others, and nature; distinct from faith and from mere desire.

The text states that spirits act 'at the command of the operator,' implying the operator's will directs the spiritual forces.

Divine names or formulas that carry ontological power, used in prayer, liturgy, or magical practice.

The text relies on the invocation of specific names (Hagenti, Procel, Furcas, Balam) to summon and command these entities.

Form-mutability as a constitutional property of divine and preternatural beings — gods, heroes, spirits, and their human practitioners possessing inherent capacity to alter form across human, animal, plant, or elemental states. Loki and Odin's transformations in Norse, Math's pigs and Blodeuwedd's owl-shape and Pwyll's exchange with Arawn in the Mabinogion, the Greek Proteus, the Indian dasavatara, Vainamoinen's bird-flight in the Kalevala, Ovid's metamorphoses, the shamanic and witch's capacity for ritual form-change. Distinct from anthropomorphism (divine taking specific human form, single embodiment) in that anthropomorphism establishes a stable form whereas this concept establishes form's plurality and instability.

Multiple entities are described with mutable or composite forms (Hagenti changing from bull/griffin to human, Balam having three heads and riding a bear), highlighting form-mutability.

The grimoire-tradition practice of ceremonially commanding or binding a spirit through consecrated seals, circles, divine names, and prescribed instruments, compelling its appearance and obedience. Distinct from theurgy in the direction of the power relationship — theurgy is reverent engagement with the gods on the premise of the operator's own ascent, this is subordination of a lesser spirit to the operator's will — and from word_power_incantation and sacred_names, which name components (verbal force, name-power) this practice deploys rather than the ritual structure itself.

The passage explicitly describes spirits appearing at the command of an operator and references seals used for their invocation, which is the core practice of spirit conjuration.

The doctrine and practice that spoken or sung word carries causal-magical force — that uttering names, formulas, songs, or incantations alters reality directly rather than merely communicating about it. Vainamoinen's runo-songs that move mountains and command iron, Norse galdr, Vedic mantra, Shinto kotodama, the magician's barbarous names in the Greek Magical Papyri, Iamblichean arcane signatures and inexplicable symbols, biblical creation-by-word. Distinct from sacred_names (the ontological power of names themselves) and prayer (address to the divine); word_power_incantation is the magical-causal efficacy of the spoken word as such.

The operation relies on the command of the operator and the use of seals/names to effect change, implying the power of spoken or written magical formulas.
