Amchison

Amchison: One of several demons mentioned in connection with the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage whose name varies significantly between different versions of this work. In the version kept at the Wolfenbüttellibrary, the name is spelled Arakison.

In the Peter Hammer edition, the name is Arakuson. And in the version of the Abramelin material kept in the Dresden library, the name appears as Aracuson. As all of these manuscripts are merely copies of a lost original, there is no way of knowing the proper spelling. Amchison or Arakuson is said to serve under the greater demon Magoth.
