The upheaval the presence of such a being causes to the Mortal Coil is immense and is usually enough for nearby civilizations to call on the powers of the gods and their allies to exorcise and cleanse the area. The spiritual wound of an arch-devil extends one mile from the original point of summons.

• Common devils summoned in the area of the spiritual wound remain in the Mortal Coil for triple duration. Attempts to bind common devils in the area of the spiritual wound suffer a -6 caster level penalty.
• Evil and Lawful spells function at +6 caster level.
• Attempts to cast future summons of a Courtier of Perdition in the area receives a +6 bonus.
• Fire-based damage is treated as if empowered (an arch-devil associated with another element may affect said element instead of fire).
• Undead created in the area acquire three additional hit points per die.
• Lawful Evil creatures within six miles of the wound’s periphery are drawn to the spiritual wound; such creatures receive an additional hit point per die once having laired in the area for three consecutive months.
• Mortal beings that die in the area have a 40% chance to rise wights, a 25% chance to rise as wraiths, and a 10% chance to rise as spectres within 6 days.
• Good aligned beings of all kinds save elementals and outsiders suffer 1d6 points of sanity damage every day spent in the area.
• Sleeping in the spiritual wound requires a Will save = 10 + ½ the devil’s HD + the devil’s Charisma modifier to avoid a nightmare.
• The weather in the area is extreme in the area based upon the time of year (i.e., the area of the spiritual wound in the summer is dangerously hot while the same area would suffer frost conditions during the winter).
