- The Raising was a ritual described in the Scrolls of Aberjian. Wolfram & Hart hoped to raise someone that would lure Angel from his mission. The raising could not be performed without the scrolls. In order to steal back the scrolls and perform the ritual, lawyers including Holland Manners, Lindsey McDonald, and Lilah Morgan hired a pair of monks to summon the demon Vocah, "the bringer of calamity." He prepared the ritual after first slaughtering the Oracles and planting his mark on Cordelia Chase, opening her up to endless visions and incapacitating her.

| abstract | - The Raising was a ritual described in the Scrolls of Aberjian. Wolfram & Hart hoped to raise someone that would lure Angel from his mission. The raising could not be performed without the scrolls. In order to steal back the scrolls and perform the ritual, lawyers including Holland Manners, Lindsey McDonald, and Lilah Morgan hired a pair of monks to summon the demon Vocah, "the bringer of calamity." He prepared the ritual after first slaughtering the Oracles and planting his mark on Cordelia Chase, opening her up to endless visions and incapacitating her. After finding from the spirit of one of the Oracles that the way to spare Cordelia was an incantation also contained on the scrolls, Angel followed the lawyers to the raising, interrupting Vocah. As he fought the demon, Lindsey stepped up and finished the ritual. The "beast" raised from hell was Darla. The ritual returned her fully human, with her soul, but with her memories of four centuries as a vampire intact; when she asked whether they had brought back "the girl whose name I don't remember" or "the other thing," Lindsey couldn't answer, saying "both" and "neither." It is implied later, in Skip's explanation, that the Raising is a part of the Tro-Clon, the series of events that bring about the arrival of Jasmine on earth, as Darla's resurrection was necessary for the birth of Connor.
