Castiel in a Latin Manuscript part 2

This took me a while to find since the pages aren’t numbered and I had to read through handwritten Latin to find the right page. This man does not have the best handwriting. To make matters worse, he often spells the same word multiple different ways and/or omits letters. The manuscript was written around 1450 and contains multiple sections. Each section includes several related spells, exorcisms, recipes, incantations, or directions. This is section 32, #13, a spell to make a woman fall in love with you, to capture a wild animal, or to make a spirit do your bidding. Yes, this multipurpose spell does all those things. You need a shoulder blade and you will need to write the names on it. A drawing is included, which I will address in the next installment. For now, I just want to point out that it does, in fact, say “Castiel,” spelled like that, although, interestingly, he is called an, “infernal spirit” in the second part of the spell. Is this spell calling on demons to perform these tasks? Is Castiel a demon in the 15th century? He is definitely listed as the angel of Thursday in another section of this same manuscript. You can see my previous post for that photo.
