[[File:Cultist-circle-summoner2.jpg|left|thumb|150px|A summoner circle.]]'''Dark Vessels''' are human cultists that are letting allow themselves be overtaken by a [[demon]]ic presence, distorting them to a dangerous vaguely human-looking creature of great power. The Vessel itself is harmless until it turn turns into an [[Activated Vessel]]([[Thrall]]).
They are commonly seen in circles of from 4 to 8 cultists, all holding staves and chanting as they attempt to call forth a demonic presence. Players are advised to kill them quickly, before they can become hosts for the much more dangerous demons.

[[ImageFile:MonCultist-darkcircle-vessel4summoner2.jpg|leftright|thumb|Dark Vessels in an incantation 250px|A summoner circle with one [[Activated Vessel]].]]This type of monster is likely called just a "Vessel", and the "Dark" prefix to their name denotes a particular type of Vessel. This would mean that other monsters named "Vessel", like "Shadow Vessel" and the like might appear later.
These human mages are commonly found standing motionless, amidst various other types of "Dark" enemies.

Dark Vessels look a bit like [[Dark Cultist]]s, and probably shares the background story of regular Cultists, but Vessels lean on tall crooks, and remain motionless until they transform, while Cultists are mage-like enemies who cast a variety of spells and summon demons.<br><br>'''Act I'''

==Background==
 
Dark Vessels look a bit like [[Dark Cultist]]s, and probably shares the background story of regular Cultists. Humans that in despair have turned to the [[Prime Evil]]s for strength and power, and in the end are corrupted and used as cheap tools of the powerful [[demon]]s.
The spikes that pokes out of their backs are called "Teeths Teeth of Diablo", and are indeed a metal spike inserted into the flesh of the willing recipient. The spike does not seem to cause internal haemorrhaging but instead some sort of perverse corruption of both soul and body.   ==Lore== The cultists were performing a strange ritual when I saw them, today. One of their number stood soundlessly while others thrust long spikes deep into his spine. He did not perish, and I believe that he may have even been darkly empowered from the implantation, though such terrible magic is foreign to me. -- Abd al-Hazir
