The Lesser Key of Solomon (
As one of the oldest magics in creation, it's a form of Holder Magic — usable through its signature ring, a form of Subspecies Magic as it's derived from Ring Magic, and dubbed as a Lost Magic due to its age and power. Various historians, rulers, and government officials recognize this as an obscure form of the Black Arts, its effects being apparent and fairly potent — even amongst its kind. This branded it also as a Forbidden Magic, its use said to have brought extreme amounts of havoc — especially when in the hands of impure. Like some known magics, this magic is known by many names — its most common one being "Devil's Sovereignty Magic" (閻魔の支配権魔法, Enma no Shihaiken Mahō).
One of the most interesting things about this magic is that it can't naturally be learned, as the ring itself chooses the wielder — most of whom were those "born out of vice"; this gives it a sentient nature, something that's only seen in the most powerful of magics and magical tools. Bearers of the ring are referred by the title of "Solomon" (

Trivia[]
- This is somewhat based on a similar concept from the anime/manga series, Makai Ouji: Devil and Realist — something the author took a liking too mainly because of its character designs and concepts.
- The Lesser Key of Solomon is actually an obscure book of demonology that's split into five sections — each one listing a certain amount of demons and occult manners; it's considered to be based on Solomon — the King of Israel, the wisest man during his time and son of previous King, David. It's believed that he was also able to subjugate many demons through his ring (seen in modern occultism, acting as one of its primary symbols) and wisdom — both of which were given unto him by God, which served as one of the many reasons for his downfall.
