The host must first be inscribed with certain marks, runes and [[ward]]ings to prepare it for the entrapment of a daemon.{{Fn|3}} [[Pentagrammic wards]] can be inscribed on physical objects to contain a warp entity, however, they can be easily altered to help a sorcerer or witch control and enslave rather than simply create a barrier that the daemon finds difficult to breach.{{Fn|12a}}
The sigils involved are largely unknown, but an essential rune called the ''"Rune of Voiding"'' must be inscribed on the chest of the host in order to empty it of any previous souls so that the daemon can be effectively contained. Apparently, this rune is sometimes ignored, as in certain occasions, the original host's mind endured. [[Radical|Radical Inquisitors]] with the resources would also string the host with chains, padlocks, amulets, and other bindings as to that ensure the both daemon's obedienceand its containment.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|13}}
Once all the preparations are made, the Incantations of Binding, the Litany of Servitus, and the Wards of Entrapment must be spoken, along with the final sealing words: ''"In servitutem abduco, I bind thee fast forever into this host."'' Note that only these were mentioned by Inquisitor [[Eisenhorn]] in his logs, and that other rites might have been involved.{{Fn|1}}
