What is the Dark Assembly?
At the Assembly, there are two important things you can do, create characters and submit proposals. For simple requests, the Assembly will not need to debate, but for important proposals, you'll need the Assembly's approval. Don't ignore the Dark Assembly or life in the Netherworld will not be easy.

Mana and Building Mana
In order to summon the Assembly, you must build up Mana (energy). Mana is gained by defeating enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more Mana your character will gain. Only the character who deals the final blow to an enemy will receive Mana, so a character that hasn't defeated anyone will not be able to summon the Assembly. Keep that in mind when deciding who will finish off the enemy.

Creating Characters
By creating characters at the Assembly, you can add allies to your party, regardless of where you are in the story. At first, only characters of basic classes can be created.

Also, only low level capabilities can be selected for these characters. A character's overall capability is related to his/her basic abilities and rate of growth.

There are several ways of increasing the variety of classes and capabilities of characters available to you. One way is by leveling up your characters. When they reach a certain level, a new class may appear.

There are many hidden classes

Take the Promotion Exam
If you select "Promotion Exam" when visiting the Assembly, you will be thrown into battle. Only the character taking the exam may participate in this battle. If you pass the exam, your "Rank" will go up. As your Rank goes up, there will be more proposals you can present, and Senators with greater "Influence" will begin to participate in the sessions. It is to your advantage to get Senators with high Influence on your side, but be careful not to get on their bad side.
If you fail the Promotion Exam, it's game over! Don't push your luck!

Presenting Proposals to the Assembly
More proposals become available to you as your Rank increases. For proposals that require the approval of the Assembly, the Senators will hold a vote. The weight of a Senator's vote is based on how much Influence he/she has, so it is not just a matter of majority rules. When you are ready for the Senate to begin voting, open the menu by pressing ?. If the difference in points between the Yeas and the Nays is equal to or greater than the Mana required to present the proposal, then the proposal will pass.

Simply put, for the proposal to pass, the following equation must hold true: Points for Yeas - Points for Nays ? Mana required for proposal

Think carefully before you submit a proposal, or you may end up wasting Mana.

Of course, if the proposal is rejected, you can always "Persuade by Force", but that is not recommended early in the game. (If you lose, it's game over.)
