No not merely "persuasion". Actualy black magic, just like the ancient stories or the modern fairy tales describe.
Evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realms, which can, upon certain invitation, affect the outcomes of this world. Spirits which can defy time and space, as we know it. Allowing the satanists to do many powerful things, like eliminate enemies from afar moving the levers of reality. That kind of black magic.
That's why they sacrifice children.
The riches and power within this world that they got from this black magic was immense, and they were promised even more. That was [their] endgame – the end of mankind for their imagined benefit.
But the price would never, ever be worth it.
Eternal damnation and darkness. Fools. They were deceived. And God will judge them accordingly.
