| + | It would not be untrue to say that demons are responsible for the invention of sorcery. They taught humanity the secrets that led to the development of the first paths. And demons/the devil teaching magic to unwary summoners is a common trope both in faction and in actual grimoires. So can demons do sorcery? Yes and no. They understand the principles behind sorcery, but that alone doesn’t suffice. Just because someone understands how a car works doesn’t mean that they can drive one (and vice versa). They can definitely help someone develop paths that are related to their lores. As such each demon counts as a teacher for several paths, depending on their house: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^House ^Path ^ | ||
| + | |All | Alchemy, Conjuration | | ||
| + | |Namaru |Hellfire, Mana Manipulation | | ||
| + | |Asharu |Healing, Scrying | | ||
| + | |Annunaki |Enchantment, | ||
| + | |Neberu |Divination, | ||
| + | |Lammasu |Fascination, | ||
| + | |Rabisu |Shapeshifting, | ||
| + | |Halaku |Summoning, Binding & Warding, Shadowcasting | | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demons can teach these paths up to a rank equal to their primary lore. While teaching someone a path is a valuable favor, it is generally considered less valuable than teaching a lore. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As for using sorcery themselves: Casting a spell is very different from evoking an invocation or a miracle. It requires the demon to get used to a completely different way of doing things. Demons can easily learn the paths they can teach. For others they usually need instructions. | ||

| + | Demons can not possess the Mana background, but they may use temporary faith as a substitute for mana on a one-to-one basis. Demons can never learn how to summon other demons, or loyalists for that matter. | ||
