Botis is one of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, the Atlantean-Solomonic demonological register that serves as the operational layer of Eigendark. In the game, Botis is bound to the Flesh faction and activates when a card with digit-sum 3 is played.
Botis: Reconciliation and knowledge of past/future
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 Flesh card with cost digit-sum 3 is played, Botis's office influences how the card resolves.
"Life finds a way. Evolve or die. Feed and breed. Consume to grow."
Survival of the fittest. Flesh hackers manipulate evolution, reshape living systems and blur the line between living and dead.
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 docs.
Each demon represents a specific instrumental goal of its parent xenogod, Shub-Niggurath. When a card bearing Botis's binding is played, the demon's office influences the card's effect resolution.
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."
