The ability to use dark magic. Demons have four primary spells: the ability to bind a human to the spot so they can't move, the ability to create and control fire, the ability to possess another being for up to an hour, and the ability to steal a human's soul. Possession can only be used once per day, the rest can be used in unlimited amounts.
The ability to teleport short distances by making a circle of fire on the ground. It is possible for a demon to teleport anything or anyone they can carry. However, it would be much more taxing than teleporting unencumbered.
Demons can have four additional spells. These will only work on humans (a Demon that has been here longer would be able to use it on other monsters with the player's other permission).
β€ A spell that grants the illusion of a temporary power boost (imaging removing someone's fear and spiking their adrenaline) β€ The ability to use the human bodies they've consumed like a marionette, and they'll move around a bit zombie-like as the Demon gives them basic commands. However, they can only do this with one human at a time, and it has to be the last one they've eaten since their 'contact' still exists. β€ A spell that causes the target's emotions to go out of control, mostly towards darker thoughts. β€ They can also make a Hand of Glory that is essentially an severed hand (literally) candle that doesn't burn out. The can only make one at a time.
Immunity to fire.
A weakness to salt and holy magic. Demons can't be killed by salt, but touching or consuming it does weaken them and they are unable to cross salt barriers on foot. Holy magic can kill a Demon, although there are few on Ryslig who know it.
A more wicked nature. More than any other creature, Demons tend to be tempted to act on their darkest desires and forsake their human nature.
The need to feed on human souls. The Demon accomplishes this with a dark magic spell. Although the human's body remains alive after the spell is complete, they will essentially be in a coma. If they don't feed for an extended amount of time, they will begin to go mad and lose their self-control until they can feed again.
