Goetic Art or Ars Goetia are ancient disciplines based on the invocation and use of spirits and/or demons. In Mythic Europe its practicioners are known as Sorcerers and suffer from a bad reputation.

Ars Goetia is implemented in Fifth Edition as four specific Abilities and the corresponding Virtues that grant access to them.[1] and the Special Ability Goetic Mastery[2]

For game purposes, Goetia Abilities (like most other Infernal-tainted Abilities) are often learned through participation in a Tradition that specializes in four specific Favored Abilities.[3]

It is possible, but difficult, to learn Goetic (and other Infernal-tainted) Abilities by the regular rules for the learning of Supernatural Abilities.[4][5]


Goetic Virtues

There are four Major Goetic Art Virtues,[6][7] which are considered Supernatural Virtues[4] and grant access to the four corresponding Goetic Abilities at level 0 in each case.[7]

The Titanoi

The Tytalus tradition known as Titanoi, which has been brought under suspicion since the Corruption of House Tytalus, is or at least was once trained in Ars Goetia.[8][9]
