-*While there does not appear to be a correlation between the track numbers and their song titles throughout ''[[Inferno]]'', there appears a few track titles and numbers that could. "[[Acts Of Magic]]" is track 8. This could refer to any of the following; The 8 Types (acts) Of Magic practiced by magicians: Prediction, Vanishing, Transformation, Restoration, Transposition, Penetration, Levitation, Appearance. It could also refer to the 8 types of forbidden magic: Necromancy, Sex Magic, Goetia, Diabolic Pact Magic, Maleficium, Blood Rites, Forbidden Divination, and Dream Divination. Thirdly, is the possible Biblical link. As we have seen before [[BOC]] are no strangers to linking Biblical passages and/or apocalyptic prophecy in their music, "[[Acts Of Magic]]" could be a reference to Acts Chapter 8:9-25 in which a magician in Samaria named Simon encounters Peter and John and asks to receive their own divine authority.
