Zagan, or Zagam, combines two grades in a single entry: King and President, an uncommon case. Kings command other spirits and the text associates them with the Sun; Presidents belong to Mercury, and here both registers coexist over thirty-three legions. He appears as a bull with griffin's wings before taking human form, and no firm etymology is documented. He was asked for wit, for making the foolish wise, and for a series of very concrete transmutations: water into wine, blood into wine, wine into water and metal into coin. That last item places him closer to clandestine minting than to alchemy.
