    [quote=Maou;682]So what instincts do a Demon have?

    They really don’t have any real needs so are they controlled entirely by human desire unconstrained from a human body that would constrain them with physical emotions and limitions, or does their demonic body have certain behaviors hard wired within it.[/quote]

    Going back to the question, I got the impression that Demons dont have built in instincts.
    Only aquired behaviour.
    The Lv. 1-3 are violent because of the almost constant torture they are under from their wizard masters.
    4+ are scheming because they are old and bored, etc.

    [quote=Korwin;686][quote=Maou;684]It might even allow somebody savvy enough to realize they could possibly some multiple variants of their soul to empower themselves giving them more energy as they collapsed in themselves.

    Just a theory mind you as two souls that were identical at their creation should be able to merge without incident and would likely have a positive effect. [/quote]

    Did you read “Deja Vu Ascendancy”?[/quote]

    [quote=Maou;693]No, [/quote]

    Well I liked it (but its long, longer than ‘Into The Abyss’ by far) and the doubling up (multiple times) happens there like you described.
    It’s not an book, but an Web-Story you could google it, if you are interested.

    Wizardry is ‘easier’ than Animagic, but needs time.
    So he will learn it after the books 😀

    Conjuring and Necromancy are a subspecies of Wizardry (and maybe Animagic).
    So depending if its doable with Animagic it might happen in the books-timeframe.

    Necromancy would be interesting for him, because he [i]may[/i] get around the Demon Wards if an body is enough to shield him from them (demonic lich!). And it would allow him to get more powerfull, if he could bring himself to consume Animus from people.

    Druidic is an good idea, he allready did something more difficult by stealing God power. Getting nature power should be more easier.

    Unbind in this context would be kill themself?
    An unbound demon is ‘only’ an soul and without body and without godly afterlife contract they will lose structure an merge with nature.

    But [i]if[/i] unbinding is possible
    and [i]if[/i] contigency spells (= prepared spells with an trigger) are an possibility, I could see it happen.

    Wizardry spells are optimized so it would seem hard to mess with them on the fly.
    On the other hand, if someone is both an Animagus and Wizard and he knows the spell, it should be possible.

    [quote=Maou;684]Would it be possible for the same person to be summoned from multiple splinter realities or to have a relative from a splinter reality summoned after one of the branch points. While it is true that you could not visit any reality apart from the main stabilized realities, it could still be possible to summon souls from less stable realities before they collapsed due to a small difference as the loss of one soul in most instances wouldn’t change the grand scheme of things. This could be used to summon more souls than should exist. It might even allow somebody savvy enough to realize they could possibly some multiple variants of their soul to empower themselves giving them more energy as they collapsed in themselves.

    [quote=Tizzy;368]I would doubt that would be particularly useful…

    It just seems very old school annoying of Amazon. This whole regionalization in a global market makes little sense.

    Yes, I get tax collection problems, but that would be for small guys…if Amazon is already planning to drop books on people from the sky using drones…I think they can figure out how to collect and distribute taxes in a global manner.[/quote]

    Thanks to Kindle Unlimited I migrated my Kindle to the US. =p~

    [quote=Rosver;431]I read somewhere here that people’s connection to their Gods are broken when they are in the Abyss. [/quote]
    Totally missed this. Are the connections broken permanently?
    If T. manages to get back to Astlan, will he be able to call on his god again?
    Or does he need to be reconnected?

    We dont really even know if Angels hate Demons.
    Well they wont like them, because they in another political faction, whose goals often differ.

    As I understood the first binding of Demons, the summoner could create an Angel looking Demon, if he could get rid of his preconceptions.

    [quote=Maou;590]It has been noted that demons and angels are similar, but created in different ways. A demon by a wizard, and an angel by a god. So could it be that demons are just crude copies of Angels. If so it would explain why they dislike the ugly, twisted imitations of themselves. It would be like Frankenstein, but weaker and inferior to you in every way, but similar enough that you might feel uncomfortable. Some humans hate the idea of identical, or improved humans created by other humans, so Angels/ Gods might hate the idea of ugly, weaker, crudely made demons made by humans that just happen to resemble Angels. It goes against many of their ideals and could allow humans to glean more information about the origins of the celestial and divine than they might like.[/quote]

    Looking at the writings of Oorstemoths, I can only conclude they are some post human intelligence experiment.

    [quote=Finaltheorem47;575]Eating Animus isn’t like eating Mana I believe.[/quote]

    I’m pretty shure we have Word of Tizzy that Vampires eat Animus and that there are Necromancy spells wo are able to do that too.

    [quote=Rosver;558]Korwin. Tizzy just yelled that they don’t die at all. They are perfect immortals. And if you read about those Greek and Roman gods you know that they are immortals as well. You can’t kill them.
    [/quote]He did? *looks at post 64* Ah, yes he did.
    He also said – somewhere (I think) – that it might be possible to become a god…

    [quote=Rosver;558]And are you implying that gods doesn’t breed with other gods? You know that doesn’t really make sense right?[/quote]
    I was thinking of, a kid of an Demon Prince might be as low as an type 3 Demon.

    But thinking further on the subject, even a kid of two type 6 gods would still need worshippers to become an god, right?

    They also might kill of their offspring like the Titans tried?

    Well we dont know if Astlan Gods are immortal.
    Definition of immortal being someone who is not able to die, no matter what.

    I think the Astlan Gods are only as immortal as the Demons are, i.e. really hard to kill. Well mostly harder to kill than Demons.

    We also dont know if an child of an god has the power of an god.
    If its more like the Demon affspring: power of father + power of mother divided by two…

    Btw. we also have word of mouth that there are evil gods.

    Are there Demons who serve evil gods / get power from them?
