The Seal of the Sun
Engraved on a golden plate with the Sun fortunate, the seal is held to render the wearer renowned, amiable, acceptable and potent in all his works, to equal a man to kings and princes and to elevate him to high fortune; with the Sun unfortunate it makes a tyrant, proud, ambitious, unsatisfiable and ill-ending.
The character and the radiant king on a lion that planetary_talismans.json calls the Sun's seal are different objects; the king is the image of Book II, ch. 41. The golden plate is Agrippa's own instruction for the solar table, one of the few places where he names the metal as well as the stone. The six-by-six square's total of 666 is printed in the same chapter and is the number that binds the seal, the spirit and the later legends together.

Engraved on a golden plate with the Sun fortunate, the seal is held to render the wearer renowned, amiable, acceptable and potent in all his works, to equal a man to kings and princes and to elevate him to high fortune; with the Sun unfortunate it makes a tyrant, proud, ambitious, unsatisfiable and ill-ending. The two faces are the same mark under different elections, which is the chapter's central claim about seals.

The character of the Sun as a sphere, drawn from the divine names over the numbers of the six-by-six square and printed in the plate between the characters of Nachiel and of Sorath. It is drawn from the divine names over the square rather than from either name, and it is the mark that stands for the luminary when neither spirit is named.
