All of these texts describe Bune as a duke who is able to move the dead, make one rich, and answer a variety of questions.<ref name="Peterson" /><ref name="Rudd" /><ref name="Weyer" /><ref name="Plancy" /><ref name="Boudet" /> The Livre des Esperitz claims that Bune rules 35 legions of spirits,<ref name="Boudet" /> while the other texts only give him 30 legions to command.<ref name="Peterson" /><ref name="Rudd" /><ref name="Weyer" /><ref name="Plancy" /> The other texts further describe Bune's appearance as a three headed dragon (with one head being human) and give him the additional powers of making devils gather around graves and making one wise and charismatic.<ref name="Peterson" /><ref name="Rudd" /><ref name="Weyer" /><ref name="Plancy" />

Practicing occultist Carroll "Poke" Runyon suggests that the name ultimately derives from Buto (a title for Isis),<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> as part of an overall claim that the Lesser Key of Solomon was by Solomon and rooted in Mesopotamian mythology.Template:Sfn

According to Rudd, Bune is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Haaiah.Template:Sfn
