He appears with a fair and feminine countenance wearing a crown upon his head. He rides upon an elephant with a large number of musical instruments. Sometimes, he appears in the shape of a horse (with multiple heads, variously stated as 100 or five), but once he has been constrained by an invocation, he will take a human shape. Many abilities are attributed to Oriens such as giving the [[magician]] wealth in the form of silver and gold, answering questions about the past, present, and future, giving [[divination|divinatory]] visions, the power to fly, providing [[familiar]]s. He also has powers of [[necromancy]] and is able to revive the dead.
