Demonic binding
by Darrien Church
Demon-bound are created by fusing a malignant spirit - or "demon" - into the body of a normal human. The host body must be first rid of its human soul, which is normally driven out by slow torture. This process, incidentally, also creates a more enticing "home" for the spirit. The spirit must be called, then lured into the corpse, the spirit remains within until freed by the Sorcerer, or until the corpse is inadvertently destroyed.
A demon-bound corpse at first appears human, but the skin is too smooth, too glowing, and far too warm to the touch. The eyes are the most startling : two glowing orange orbs, lacking both pupil and iris.
Demon-bound are used as servants, slaves and guardians. Behind their impassive faces, there lurks a great intelligence - or consciousness. Three or four times as strong as humans, they can accomplish tasks so demanding that frail human bodies can be damaged or destroyed. Some are crushed by the very weight the demon-bound is capable of lifting.
Although the spirits seem to desire their freedom, they have never been known to purposely destroy a corpse in an effort to escape. The thought process of these creatures are probably not sufficient to foresee such possibilities.
