He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc.

And is there a generic class of magical things that can be used for similar effects, say for impulse projection or illusion creation or mind control?
Yes, there are seventy-two demons in the Ars Goetia (and more in the Weyer from which it was likely cribbed) but it is a grimiore, not an RPG book, so it is really redundant. Almost all of them will make you witty and tell you secrets.
