Demons

From ErandiaWiki

Demons are the most common ascension among the Elkandu, and believed to be based around dark soul, or Death Magic. In practice, however, there are a wide variety of different types of demons, each of them seeming to be based around different talents.

In order to become a demon, a mage must channel a large amount of tainted mana while allowing strong emotion to consume them. Typical emotions used are rage, lust, greed, and others believed to be "demonic" in nature, although it is not clear if this is strictly necessary or if any powerful emotino will suffice. Channeling any tainted mana is dangerous and painful for non-demons, and many will turn without even intending to if all the requirements are met.

It is commonly believed that a person's demonic type is based upon their primary talents, however recent evidence suggests that ascending to demonhood at the bottom of the Abyss, where the field of tainted mana is strongest, may produce more powerful types of demons than elsewhere. Along with some very rare types of demons, it has produced strange and unique types never seen before.
