What is Sight? Sight is an ability exorcists acquire from captive demons. Sight allows an exorcist to see spirits/demons from the Underworld and is necessary for exorcism. Once paired with an exorcist, a captive demon loses this ability until their bond is broken. When Sight is active, the pupil and iris turn white, while the sclera turns black.  

What is Strength? Strength is an ability exorcists acquire from captive demons. Strength fuels an exorcist’s weapon, which once has manifested as a blade or other tool, is used to exorcise demons. Once paired with an exorcist, a captive demon continually supplies an exorcist with their Strength. Strength is a finite resource and once depleted, an exorcist cannot use their weapon or create Sanctuary until their demon has rested.

What is Sanctuary? Sanctuary is a defensive structure created using demonic strength. It provides a space in which an exorcist remains safe from a demon attack. Exorcist’s weapons will not work inside Sanctuary.

What is a Seer? Seers are also known as “half-breeds”, though the term is considered vulgar. Seers are defined as human/demon hybrids spawned by the pairing of a human woman and an incubus somewhere in their family history. Seers manifest the ability to use Sight and create a small Sanctuary without the use of a demon partner, and often have one withered limb. Seers can detect the presence of any demon with a strong aura (most often, a Collector demon) by a pain response in their withered limb. Seers are often in their forties or fifties when abilities manifest. They cannot wield an exorcist’s weapon.

What is a Clairvoyant? A clairvoyant (a “clairy”) is someone who is good at sensing demonic activity to varying degrees in people, places, or sometimes in objects, which makes them a valuable commodity to the Academy. Clairvoyants are especially susceptible to being possessed themselves, and as such must be closely monitored when working in the field. Once possessed by a Lurker demon, clairvoyants will give false readings, are rendered comatose, or worse.
