PUCELLE
Now help, you charming spells and periapts,
And you choice spirits that admonish me,
And give me signs of future accidents.
You speedy helpers, that are substitutes
Under the lordly monarch of the north,
Appear, and aid me in this enterprise. (5.3.2-7)
Through most of the play, it hasn't been clear if Joan is a witch or a saint. Here she calls on demons, and they appear. But when the spirits turn up, they refuse to help her. So maybe she isn't so close to them after all? Either way, the play's audience would see calling on them as a sign that she can't be trusted. Calling on demons = shady.
