Sabnock
Sabnock is one of the 72 Goetia — the operational sub-processes of the eight xenogods, bound to Atom at digit-sum 2.
Sabnock is one of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, the Atlantean-Solomonic demonological register that serves as the operational layer of Eigendark. When a Atom card with cost digit-sum 2 resolves, Sabnock is the Goetia the engine invokes.
Office
Sabnock: Building towers, providing weapons and armor
In the Solomonic tradition, each of the 72 Goetia holds a specific office — a domain of expertise and power. In Eigendark, these offices map to card effects. When a Atom card with cost digit-sum 2 is played, Sabnock's office shapes how the card resolves.
Faction: Atom
"Maximize efficiency. Master the smallest and you master everything."
Reality reduces to energy and force. Atomic warlocks bend matter to their will from the nuclear level to massive scales.
The science of material existence. Mechanics, chemistry at the atomic scale, engineering, industry, nanotechnology, the solid world. Yaldabaoth's tyranny. Deep-time matter trauma, nuclear identity sorcery. The Demiurge creating matter from geometric forms.
The Goetic Register
The 72 Goetia are divided evenly across 8 factions — 9 demons per faction, assigned by the digit-sum of a card's mana cost. This binding was codified in 1577 by people who didn't know they were writing API documentation. Each demon represents a specific instrumental goal of its parent xenogod, Yaldabaoth.
The Pandemonium Matrix represents the older, pre-Solomonic, Lemurian-Continuum-aligned demonology. It is the grimoire of the wet, polydirectional time the Atlantean Order sank. When the Lemurian Continuum breaches (Broken Transmissions, certain Black Moons, Xenodemon intrusions), Pandemonium entities leak through and briefly operate outside the Goetic table. Cards generated during such events carry Lemurian names and mechanics and are flagged "ontologically unstable" in the Grimoire.
The Rival Register
Beneath the Goetic layer, a rival system persists: the Pandemonium Matrix — 45 Lemurian Amphidemons that predate the Solomonic hierarchy. During Broken Transmissions, the Lemurian register briefly overrides the Goetic one, producing cards flagged as "ontologically unstable."

The Aesthetic
Cosmic horror says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible. Eigendark says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible and here's the API documentation.
