Devil Magic

Devil Magic (悪鬼の魔法, Akki no Mahō) is an extremely powerful form of Caster Magic & Holder Magic, depending on how it's used. It's also stated to be one of the most dangerous forms of the Black Arts, being the sister counterpart to Angel Magic. Another name for this magic is "Demonic Contract of Infinite Evils" (常証文の獰鬼約定, Tokoshōmon no Dōkiyakujō) — something that's considered to be fitting, given the nature of this sinister magic.

It was created by various Dark Mages who sought out the power of those who ruled the darkness, entering a contract with them and having said beings fight on their behalf. In fact, it was proven that this was based on the concept: "Making a Deal with the Devil", something that was considered to be a taboo in the early days when magic wasn't fully understood. Despite the fact that it's a magic that allows one to summon Demons, it can also allow one to summon Devils, Evil Spirits, and those of a similar nature. Like another well-known magic, it's possible for one to summon & control a legion of demons — bending them to their will.

However, like all Black Arts, there is a given risk of corruption from the overuse of this particular form, noted to be extremely high as one is exposed to the negative influences that the summoned creatures possesses. It's unknown how many users of this art form currently exist, but it's rumored that there's a small percentage as knowledge of Devil Magic has been lost for some time, mainly due to the machinations of the Magic Council — seeing the power as an extreme threat to all of humanity.
