For example, Desirat is described as the companion and mount of Asmodeus, and she offers the Light and Trickery domains and The Fiend and The Undying pacts. Desirat is likely not an archfiend (she's described as a "dark phoenix" (no, not that one)). I should also point out that the Cult Fanatic in the MM is a 4th-level cleric, and the Diabolical Cults section of Mordenkainen says "Each description also includes a list of signature spells associated with the cult. If a cult member can cast spells, you can replace any of those spells with spells from that list, as long as the new spell is of the same level as the spell it replaces." Now admittedly, the description for the Cult Fanatic doesn't say that they get those spells from the arch-fiend they worship (because it's such a generic statblock it can be used for any sort of cultist), but I think it's strongly enough implied.So, this is really another case of D&D not keeping canon straight even within a single edition. Pretty typical of it.</blockquote>
