Alright after not reading that here's what I got

>>149112098

>Sinners look less human because only their souls go to Hell and most of their spirits dissipate into earth's psychic ether
>Sinners then have to 'borrow' energy from Hell depending on what sins applied to them
>The Pentacle side of Hell's moon (debating on Kerebos or Melinoe) acts as a block from the energy of other realms, astral forces, etc reaching them as they draw all their spiritual force from it
>when the moon's face turns to another side it's theoretically possible for them to leave
>this also keeps them in a similar headspace to where they were when they died and makes it harder to grow as a person
>so Hell doesn't make Sinners more evil through magic it just keeps them just as shitty and miserable as their last week of life
>if you're an occultist like Alastor you can bring more of your spirit from Earth back with you to look more human

>Why they're trapped

>Originally Sins or Goetia would let sinners out occasionally to act as their servants on Earth
>This would explain the marches of the damned found throughout Medieval Folklore
>changed as Hell got more and more people and ambitious Sinners got more and more chances to gain soul contracts
>Sins now keep the Moon in Tidal Lock instead of its normal cycle

As for how they'd get out permanently
>Replace the hell spirit with normal earth spirit
