“KITTSCHER: There’s a theory that all magic is essentially demonic, that every ritual both summons and binds a demon’s powers. Have you never wondered why magic takes such a toll? Our brushes with the uncanny are encounters with these parasitic forces. The demon is feeding even if its powers are contained. The bigger the magic, the more powerful the demon.
