    Would two demons with the same true name look similar to one and other as the secondary demon, might perhaps be forced in an identical or near identical body of the original holder of that true name?

    So how do you think most demons acted when seeing tom and Rupert right next to each other, and how exactly does half demon puberty work? Do they grow bigger as they mentally mature and if so what determines their demonic age?

    While an incubus or male cubi as I call them would be better for breeding, people rarely think of breeding demons. It seems to be frowned upon. It needs to be consensual for two demons to merge animus and this is typically quite costly, so trying to breed half demons would be better using a male demon and female mortals. For best results a large demon is best, but demons fear spells have the greatest effect on children and women, and for some reason most women start panicking when they see something as big or bigger than their thigh going in. They can get smaller but most demons are an S to mortals.

    Moving beyond that looking at past myths from a patriarchal society will likely result in many stories used to show that women with power is bad and must be oppressed by men. It is justification of them being unable to resist temptation on their own. Realistically uneducated women would likely have very little ability to do anything of a demonic nature and males would likely be able to do more damage to more people. Female killers are often times more efficient as they go for the kill and then don’t take trophies in most cases. I do not however believe this to be a case such as that. If our culture was a matriarchy we would likely have stories to justify not giving power to men, and a mixed society would likely lean more towards the dominant culture. Western society is a patriarchy. Men tend to do better in life, are names a passed on, and we are often viewed as more responsible for our actions.

    Wizards would however likely be hunted down quickly for capturing mortal women to breed half demons. Not sure if a demon hasn’t done it yet though. Some half-demons are close to their mortal parent in most aspects, and could in theory pass as another race if they built up sufficient numbers. Half-demons however have a short life expectancy if left alone do to angry villagers and priests. Nice plan though.

    Wizardry requires knowledge and study. Animagics is more about talent and study. Wizardry is closest to a science, while Animagics is a craft. Magic can be progressed most quickly with practice and not being killed by a problem with their magics. As a demon Tom can practice longer with magic than a human could as he would have a greater mana pool and a faster mana recovery time. Also as a demon it is much harder for him to die. Since he can have things blow up in his face and survive, he really can do things that others couldn’t. Magic is also based off of imagination and he will have thoughts that others don’t as he lacks magical knowledge and thus doesn’t know what isn’t impossible.

    Most newly summoned demons would be panicking after being summoned and would learn of magics from other demons and the wizards. The more powerful demons likely thought of new ways to use magic and showed others how to use it ages ago when they were young and had it disseminated by both the abyss and Astlan making them the pinnacle of their respective teachings. Progress comes from more rational thinking built off of whats known to the next most logical step, or it comes from a genius with a radical idea that isn’t the next step and based off of something new. Tom has the power, the imagination, and just enough knowledge to use magic, but it might not be in the way in which others thought to use it.

    Is it possible to corrupt a divinities god pool so that instead of the mana being purified by its practitioners, it is instead corrupted. Also could that cloud that 1 hits demons possibly be modified in such a manner as to destroy a god. Entropy tends to destroy most things given time and it sounds like something a demon might utilize.

    Could the demon just shift to a smaller size to use a toilet if needed. Also does Sin City(demon city) have anything resembling a sewer system?

    Different races and different regions have different gods and these differing pantheons will likely have different mindsets. I know that two humans from the same culture will not be able to agree on a clear view of good, evil, or what their god represents. Its doubtful that different races share the same god. So each pantheon will have different views of good and evil. It blurs boundaries, two “good” deities might view the other as evil, or one could view the other as evil and the other could find the other as annoying for viewing them as evil and be offended.

    Angels look attractive and often have a pure look as individuals. People feel safe or secure in their presence. They can form a massive and reduce a continent to ashes and those that died were evil and the survivors were protected by god. Demons do that and everybody has an opposite opinion and view those who died as innocent, survivors have mixed reactions based on circumstance. Some are hellspawn, while others are godsent.

    The biggest difference between demons and gods is the lack of order in demonic ranks and the possibility of advancement. An angel can never grow to overpower a god. Well a few might, but most cannot. Concordenax was the closest things demons had to a central figure, when he left demons made blatant factions. The powerful demons tend to ignore weaker demons that don’t bother them, so they are heavily decentralized and tend to respect those more powerful than them in a fearful sort of manner. Angels are centralized and can’t get away with killing those beneath them.

    In conclusion Angels are extremely social and have a rigid hierarchy with little possibility for advancement. A rigid caste system. Demons have a fluid hierarchy and no clear distinction of power beyond this person is the nearest person who can kill me. Demons are also somewhat anti-social do to wizardly intervention, they do make societies amongst themselves at times, but many can and will enjoy staying by themselves. Trust is somthing Angels have, which demons surely lack.

    I know, but I just felt like stretching things a bit. The demons seem to be devoid of most of these sins, and wrath is typically acquired from being ripped from their body and forced to submit to the will of a wizard that uses them as a tool and punishes them if they resist.

    They indulge so rarely in the activities needed for the other sins that in comparison to humans they might be on the less sinful side. The lack of sleep and dreams does lead them to try to do something as seen by their ever shifting city.

    The demons do posses some similarities to humans, but their like humans that were distorted. I am curious as to how the humans can compare to the demons. The demons have eternity to polish their skill, and yet are still not capable of standing up to humans in some instances despite the fact that they should grow over time, while humans will die at the age of 200 if they are really good tops.

    So who’s who in the picture I can guess at some, yet a few of their names elude me.

    Since wizards cast structured spells would it be possible for an animage to
    A. warp the spell structure to alter or render it inert
    B. absorb the mana to render it inert
    C. act as a virus to try and take control of or destroy the spell
    D. loosen/ disrupt/ rupture the spell structure to render it inert

    Wizards don’t have complete control of a spell, they set things up and let work from their in some instances so could it be possible to then mess with it. A wizards spell also needs concentration and is delicate so somebody deliberately trying to alter a forming spell should have little effort doing so, but with no idea of the aftereffects.

    I ask as wizardry is a form of mana-engineering and from what I know it is much simpler to destroy or disrupt something that has been engineered than it is to either build or maintain it. I state this as a possible reason as to why Animages might not have expressed more interest into in the past. Wizards are best suited to fight opponents whom they have studied in detail so they can prepare appropriate counter measures and for fortifying positions with wards for security. Wizards by trade are not spontaneous and are more vulnerable in a situation for which they are unprepared. Not powerless, but less in control of a situation. Animages however display a relatively level spectrum of strength in most environs dependent on their specialties.

    Where do you stash your weed and pipe when you aren’t using them?
    People truly wish to know the answer.
    Your answer is either ground braking or mad.
    Also please elaborate on why Bess chose to pour acid on your balls, why you are still alive after annoying Lilith, and why did you think sex with an attractive arch-demon was a good idea as a Fiend?
    Please ignore the success of Antefalken as he is apparently quite the smooth talker, highly experienced, and plays an instrument as the penultimate bad-boy musician that parents would disapprove of their “little girl” from having sex with. One exciting night with him and their parents won’t care who else they see as long as its not him.

    Why is Antefalken an exception to the general dislike of human women to the idea of sex with a demon?

    It can’t be that hard to convince people to spread the word of a demonic god[-o< . Simply get the men conveniently placed inside some lovely padded rooms:-# . They are kept nice and warm to such an extent that gravity, walls, and floors no longer hurt them. They are catered to such an extent that they no longer need to use their hands. Their are also many people hear and their wearing tinfoil hats who look promising. And since you don't seem picky why don't you also pick up the stonerso:) and doomsayers:-" as additional followers. One can herald your coming and the other can cultivate the weed supply so that it isn't so scarce here. Weed isn't that hard to grow, but for some reason I can't seem to find any in the wild. Hope these suggestions help you find some worshipers.
