The following brand of the exorcism ritual was practised by Exorcist Amortus in the Cathedral of Illumination on [[Scintilla]]:
"The main officiant, called '''Arch-Exorcist''', is responsible for conducting the ceremony and leading the prayers; he is assisted by a '''Pardoner''', which ensures that the victim being exorcised does not fight back against the attempts to force the daemon out of him (the role’s name comes from the fact that the victim cannot control his actions at this point, and that the Pardoner forgives him at the same time as restraining him). The other
assistants are called '''Celebrants of the Emperor’s Will'''.
At this point the daemon will usually try to interrupt the ritual by assailing the minds of the celebrants.
If the ritual fails, the host will die as the daemon possesses his body, but will still be able to join the Emperor's side in the afterlife."
