about

faust declares his intent to gain supreme knowledge and pleasure through his pursuit of black magic.

This leads Faust to don the traditional robes and paraphernalia of the goetic sorcerer and step inside the conjuror’s circle with the spirit’s seal copied onto parchment, armed with a whip and magical spells to compel the demon Mephistopheles to appear.

This act initiates a psychedelic ordeal,replete with a flurry of teleporting locales and gruesome sights, while Faust remains anchored stoically to the safety of the circle, continuing to lash at the seal of Mephistopheles and cry out for the devil to appear, undeterred.

When Mephistopheles arrives,Faust asks whether it was the results of his efforts which brought the demon up from hell; to which Mephistopheles informs that it was not his magical proficiency, but rather his readiness to abandon himself to sin, which draws the demons’ attention.

Mephistopheles explains that he might only grant Faust the luxuries he requests on the authority of his king, Lucifer, who demands they must sign a contract ,an imposition which Faust foolishly accedes, to his ultimate misfortune.
