Title: Daemonism - Volume III
Author: Kalandry'thll
Now that you have read about one of my many journeys to study Daemons, perhaps you can understand better some of what I shall be talking about in this Volume, and the ones to come after.
Within this Volume I shall go into detail on the magics of the Daemon, and how our magics differ a bit from their own. Also I shall go into their link to the Abyss, and to our world. I shall try to make it clear to you that these creatures, though strong in many aspects, also have their weakness.
Daemons use magic much like our own, however, they do contain within them some differences in how they are used. This is mainly due to the fact that Daemons are not from our realm, and therefor, do not have to use the same path to access the ether as we do.
Magic to the Daemon is like a normal action. Though they do still rely upon mana usage, their bodies and minds are able to focus much larger amounts of it than our own.
Daemons have been known to cast spells from the eighth ring of the ether many times over without ceasing an attack to restore.
The reasoning behind the fact that they do not need to use Magic Dicta or reagents to cast with is because they are in constant touch with the Abyss.
This enables them to go around such materials as reagents and directly focus on the elements themselves.
The magic dicta is not needed because they themselves can bend and fold the ether with mere thought rather than words. A true power indeed, and one that makes their tactics very unpredictable.
Daemons, as you know, must be summoned to our realm in some way in order to remain within it for long periods of time. Those daemons within hythloth are a bit different in the way that they have been given an open door into our world. This allows them to enter as they wish. Leaving however, is a bit difficult.
Daemons, once in our world, are bound to it for a period of time. Depending on the way they were summoned and for what purpose.
For example: If a Daemon was summoned to guard a treasure of some such thing, that Daemon shall remain until the treasure is no longer there to be guarded, or the caster releases the Daemon.
No matter how they are summoned, a Daemon will always return to the Abyss once slain. Yes, this is truth, a Daemon does not die, but in fact, merely leaves its physical body here and returns to the Abyss to its original body. This allows Daemons to return over and over to the world even after being slain by some hero or another.
Our spell within the Eighth Circle is a bit different. We focus energy into the summoning and call forth upon a Daemon to aid us. These Daemons are bound to us in the same way that a Daemon is to guard a treasure. As they are fully under our command until we can no longer control them. At this time they are released and set wild upon the world. Due to the bound between a Daemon and its summoner, once the Daemon even trys to attack is former master...it is sent hurling back to the Abyss.
