Demon

Across all of Lund, Demons (true demons; not to be confused with the Outrealm Beings, which some cultures consider demons) or evil spirits are manifestations of negative energy in a given place. While they are considered spirits, they are not the life energy of any particular living thing and instead are brought about and created by negative emotions, which are created from negative actions in a sort of vicious cycle that repeats until they manifest. The stronger the negative emotions and the subsequent demon's attachment to a place, the stronger their physical and metaphysical abilities. They are generally feral and not sentient, but if one attains enough power, it is not unheard of for one to gain a sort of consciousness. In all observed cases, these have all been warped and overwhelmingly sinister in nature.

They cannot be harmed through the use of traditional weapons, though simply the wielder of a weapon's will in using it upon them to dispel them from a location can occasionally give this illusion in very weak demons. More often than not, blessed or silver weapons, purifying words, prayers or spells must be used to destroy them, displacing the negative energy with positive, suffocating them in a sense. Those who are wicked in their intentions or not pure of heart may instead further empower them by attempting to combat them, especially if their goals in destroying them are predominantly monetary or otherwise selfish.

Demons can be created through the use of certain dark magics, though this is can often be a double-edged sword when used for nefarious purposes, as the nature of these spirits is widely unpredictable. It is fairly common practice for magicians skilled in the art of enchanting to create weaker demons and bind them to weapons, armors or jewelry, creating unholy unions of spirit and object with immense power. However, these can easily lead to the possession or killing of even the most skilled of wielders at the slightest mistake in wielding them when not tempered with positive energy as a means of "neutralizing" the object's disposition.
