diablerie
Wicked supernatural mischief
Diablerie is sorcery or witchcraft, especially the kind associated with demons or the devil.
The word can also refer to reckless mischief or wild behavior that suggests demonic influence, though usually in a playful rather than sinister sense.
In fiction and games, diablerie sometimes denotes a specific dark ritual or forbidden practice.
The novel was full of gothic diablerie and supernatural intrigue.
