Foras: Logic and Eloquence
To argue soundly and speak eloquently, by the office of Foras, who teaches "the Arts of Logic and Ethics in all their parts" and makes men "to be eloquent".
Foras in The Goetia (1904)
The Thirty-first Spirit is Foras. He is a Mighty President, and appeareth in the Form of a Strong Man in Human Shape. He can give the understanding to Men how they may know the Virtues of all Herbs and Precious Stones. He teacheth the Arts of Logic and Ethics in all their parts. If desired he maketh men invisible, 1 and to live long, and to be eloquent. He can discover Treasures and recover things Lost. He ruleth over 29 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, which wear thou, etc.
