Auto de Fe

Killing Infernals and Infernalists is dirty business, and the forces of evil are so pernicious that sometimes not even killing them is enough. During the early era of the Inquisition's development, several agents of the Inquisition rooted out and killed several powerful Infernalists, only to face those same agents of darkness again at a later date! 
The Inquisition soon realized that Infernalists often employed Dark Magicks to resurrect their dead. To prevent this, the practice of burning Infernalists corpses came into use. Sadly, in time, this practice was also used to kill non-Infernalists who had come under the ire of misguided churchmen or monarchs. However, to this day, the standard rule of thumb for disposing of exceptional Infernalists is to burn them. Often, they are burnt alive. 
This practice is known as an Auto de Fe, or 'Act of Faith.'
