The Devil sometimes tries to do some landscape gardening. But things rarely work out as he wants.

The Devil is sometimes willing to stick up for the little people - as long as he gets the opportunity to gloat in someone's face.

When the Devil pretends to be an ordinary tradesperson, watch out!

Some sell their souls to the Devil for wealth. Others for power.

And then there is this guy.

I think those people did not really think their deal with the Devil through.

But it all worked out in the end...

The Devil is a master craftsman. But there are some tasks that are beyond even his skills.

An untertaker in Magdeburg once made a deal with the Devil in order to protect himself in battle.

But this did not save him, in the end.

A group of young mages in the employ of a French king once used a wheel of fortune to travel through the air.

Alas, the ticket price was... murder.

Once, the Devil tried confessing his sins, and receive the sacrament of absolution.

Which was rather awkward, for all concerned.

When working magic suggested by the Devil, it is wise to follow the instructions precisely.

It would be wiser still not to work such magic at all.

Do not summon the Devil in the presence of amateurs. They will always screw it up.

When the Devil appears in court, he never works pro bono.

If his own client won't pay, the opposing side surely will.
