Second Summoning Notes
|
||||||
|
: Second summoning is a short story, perhaps a chapter, in which I summon
|
||||||
|
: my second demon. I'm composing it longhand with a hero pen in a black
|
||||||
|
: clairfontaine notebook. Here are some notes I put down in the monthly
|
||||||
|
: bullet journal:
|
||||||
|
Maybe start the story already swapped.
|
||||||
|
: so that my physical descriptions conflict with the pronoun usage for
|
||||||
|
: extra entertainment.
|
||||||
|
ah-A! is in my "male" body while I'm in her "female" body
|
||||||
|
The demon's true name is ah-A!
|
||||||
|
but when I'm in its body I use a chosen name
|
||||||
|
what is the my main character's undead name?
|
||||||
|
"You're doing it wrong!"

Sacrifice and the laws of infernal dynamics
|
||||||
|
: to summon a demon, or at least to bind it in the material plane of
|
||||||
|
: existence, terrestrial matter and/or energy must be swapped
|
||||||
|
: with the infernal. Something has to leave this universe in order for
|
||||||
|
: something to enter. Fire is popular in rituals because it
|
||||||
|
: effectively camoflages the swap. Hmm this seemed do clever before.
|
||||||
|
:
|
||||||
|
: Well I was also saying the physical elements are typically swapped
|
||||||
|
: for analogous infernal matter. So the materials you sacrifice will
|
||||||
|
: lend some qualities to the demonic tissues you summon.
|
||||||
|
:
|
||||||
|
Demonic need is a void
|
||||||
|
: A demon's need is a moral void that leaks out of the
|
||||||
|
: universe and cannot be plugged until or unless the demon is
|
||||||
|
: banished. Just as a physical sacrifice is necessary to bring
|
||||||
|
: something material across the divide a regular moral sacrifice is
|
||||||
|
: necessary to maintain the demon's unsoul here in the material realm.
|
||||||
|
:
|
||||||
|
: In the second or third EG book by OSC may he burn, people were
|
||||||
|
: genetically selected to pass on OCD as a trait. When it manifest,
|
||||||
|
: the god botherers or whatever were tormented in a fashion where they
|
||||||
|
: could not get themselves clean and had to invent a ritual which
|
||||||
|
: would absolve them of their OCD anxiety. (I have no idea how
|
||||||
|
: accurate OSC's depiction of OCD was and I'm not planning to find
|
||||||
|
: out). In this story however, binding a demon cuts it off from its
|
||||||
|
: infernal realm and forces it to invent a material moral analog; an
|
||||||
|
: earthly proxy which can more or less sustain it as long as it exists
|
||||||
|
: on the plane. The need does not exist in the place they come from.
|
||||||
|
: It only arises upon arrival and during the binding process.
|
||||||
|
:
|
||||||
|
: A sorcerer perhaps can try to influence some aspect of the need by
|
||||||
|
: controlling the environment where the binding ritual is performed.
|
||||||
|
: However results are notoriously unpredictable.
|
||||||
|
Binding bloopers
|
||||||
|
: A scholarly archivist(cover) sorcerer once performed a binding
|
||||||
|
: ritual in a vast public library hoping that the demon would
|
||||||
|
: develop a need to read, or critique literature or something.
|
||||||
|
: This the scholar thought would be easy enough for her to supply.
|
||||||
|
: However the demon could have just as easily manifest a need to
|
||||||
|
: burn books, or to perform depraved re-enactments found in some
|
||||||
|
: prurient pulp in the fiction section. As it happened, the
|
||||||
|
: sorcerer's sister had brought her toddler to visit the archives
|
||||||
|
: just two days ago. During the visit the sorcerer's nephew had
|
||||||
|
: gotten lost in the stacks and the brief but searing panic felt
|
||||||
|
: by both sisters came back to her mind during the binding. As a
|
||||||
|
: result the demon revealed it had a need to cause parents to lose
|
||||||
|
: track of their offspring on a semi-regular basis.
|
||||||
|
:
|
||||||
|
: The demon was powerful and well suited to the task for which she
|
||||||
|
: had summoned it but the sorcerer soon had to banish it due to
|
||||||
|
: this tedious and disruptive need.
|
||||||

Adepts
|
||||||
|
: Adept sorcerers do not deceive themselves into thinking they can
|
||||||
|
: successfully order up a convenient demonic need, instead they
|
||||||
|
: practice austere restraint and mental detachment during binding
|
||||||
|
: rituals in an attempt to reduce the chaos inherent in the
|
||||||
|
: process. The object is to quell ones own fears and conceal or
|
||||||
|
: disperse all emotional baggage to prevent the demon from
|
||||||
|
: fixating on something that will cause the sorcerer excessive
|
||||||
|
: distress. Whether this is more effective than any other matter
|
||||||
|
: has not been systematically reviewed.
