Daemons

Daemons are best defined as demigods; a cross between a mortal being an a godly energy. They are mortal beings who have a special natural talent with magic due to an extra aspect in their souls, created when the Banishment occurred.

Most daemons will usually have two aspects within themselves; a defining aspect, such as Humanus, and a secondary aspect, which defines what the daemon will be specialized in. Daemons who have two aspects often take on a human-like form, hiding in plain sight amongst their human brethren.

Some daemons, however, are made up of many aspects. Certain beings cannot be defined by human or beast, and so will define themselves as multiple aspects combined (Ignis and Volatus might be some of the aspects for a fire-breathing dragon, for example.) Known examples can be found on the inhabitants page.

Because of these extra aspects, daemons will have a natural ability to perform spells with this aspect as a fuel, or an arcane catalyst. A daemon can manipulate their aspect, and themselves, to perform arcane feats such as shape-shifting, alchemy, pyromancy, and the like, depending on the aspect in their body.

A daemon will have a mark clearly visible somewhere on their body, almost as if it were a prominent birthmark.

A being with a soul that isn’t a daemon will still have a mark, however grew without access to a secondary aspect to manipulate. Therefore, their mark is incredibly faint and would require specialized equipment to find.
