Greetings! Interesting question. I have no answer, but would note that, aside from being one who expels demons from possessed people, the term was also used by the grimoires to mean someone who summons demons and commands them to perform various tasks*. However, I am not aware of these tasks including sending the demon to take up residency in someone else.

The opposite of an exorcist? Any insights would be appreciated. Yours RSH
