While these spirits are really real and not just a figment of medieval human imagination, the offices listed below might not be literal 'translations' of their abilities.
Hierarchy of spirits as per Grimorium Verum
Concerning spirits, there are the superior and the inferior.
Names of the superiors are Lucifer, Beelzebuth, Astaroth.
The inferiors of Lucifer are in Europe and Asia, and obey him.
Beelzebuth lives in Africa, and Astaroth inhabits America.
Of these, each of them has two who order their subjects all that which the Emperor has resolved to do in all the world, and vice-versa.
Lucifer has two demons under him:
- Satanackia and
- Agalierap.
Beelzebuth has two demons under him:
- Tarchimache and
- Fleruty.
The two inferiors of Astaroth are:
- Sagatana and
- Nesbiros.

Under Satanachia (subordinate of Lucifer) are forty-five daemons. Four of these, the chiefs:
- Sergutthy,
- Heramael,
- Trimasael and
- Sustugriel.
The others are of no great consequence.
These spirits are of great advantage, and they work well and speedily, in the case that they are pleased with the operator.
Sergutthy
has power over maidens and wives, when things are favorable.
Heramael teaches the art of healing, including the complete knowledge of any illness and its cure, He also makes known the virtues of plants, where they are to be found, when to pluck them, and their making into a complete cure.
Trimasael teaches chemistry and all means of conjuring of the nature of deceit or sleight-of-hand.
He also teaches the secret of making the Powder of Projection, using which the base metals may be turned into gold or silver.
Sustugriel teaches the art of magic. He gives familiar spirits that can be used for all purposes, and he also gives mandragores.
Agalierept (subordinate of Lucifer) and Tarihimal are the rulers of Elelogap, who in turn governs matters connected with water.

- Hael and
- Surgulath.
The former (Hael) enables anyone to speak in any language he will and also teaches the means whereby any type of letter may be written. He is also able to teach those things which are most secret and completely hidden.
Sergulath gives every means of speculation. In addition, he instructs as to the methods of breaking the ranks and strategy of opponents.
