John stantine was the most well-informed person of the occult on the p. At least he thought he was. So when the reports of attacks of hundreds of demons started ing in from New York he knew something terrible had happehis wasn’t p all, someone must have made a portal to hell that the demons were flooding in from and a named demon was taking advantage of it.
He pulled out another banishment talisman and flung it at a greater demon before bsting the lesser ones with holy magic. Quid effective as it was there were just far too many to fight that way so he had been attempting to make an anti-demon zo the demohwarting him as he did so. Any that got a whiff of his magic would e running to stop him.
He just needed a few seds without interruption to pull it off but if he stopped fighting the civilians in the area would be torn apart as he was drawing all the demons' attention. Another wasted talisman as he broke out his third artifact to try and make some progress on making the anti-demon zone for the citizens to fall back to.
As he did so six greater demons rushed down sensing the new and iing magic stopping his progress as he had to fight them instead of tinuing. As he was about to draw out arump card a man teleported in and cleaved the heads off two of the demons with no fahe artifact which liop shard of Moses’ staff thrummed with power as he aborted his attad used the magic to finish his circle.
The man spoke just as the anti-demon dome came ience. “Hello sta's o finally meet you. Big, big fan. You might not agree but your knowledge on teagic really helped me out rew other spells to work at lower circles.” stantine looked at the man in fusion.
He would definitely not say he was a teage but even when he did o cast a teo spell he would do it in the exact opposite way the man said. He would overload the spell with higher circle mana to get it to work effectively. stantine didn’t know that most people made one or two teo spells and that was it while he had iently created more than ten by making them work with more mana. It gave the man the bare bones information on the spell that he could build off instead of starting from scratbsp;
Magic hag, magilog, magiformation ste, magic boundary creation and many others were far easier and cheaper to do with teagic. Part of the man’s anti-demon array used teagic to draw the boundaries and store it instead of normal magic to cheapen the spell.
He ted a logomancy spell and stantihe world shift as magic was revealed to him. The entire area was soaked in anti-demon magic. It was the creation of a gigantic demon banishment spell that didn’t seem feasible to sta would take dozens of high-rank mages to perform it ond then they’d be tapped out and the demons could just re-ehat area.
Thankfully it didn’t invade his zoherwise ohe spell went off it would interrupt his spell and the demons flooding ba would easily overwhelm the idiot who produced that giant spell. The remaining greater demo against the barrier stantine produced as the spell slowly worked its way to pletion. He wasn’t great at sensing ambient mana iures but the man's spell let him see exactly what was happening to the demon.
The demon’s own magic was turned against him as he not only banished himself but left another portion of his mana behind as a gem. The man gathered the gems from the freshly banished demons. The lessers might have been rendered into nothingness if they didn’t have enough mana to banish and pay for the spell.
stantine’s heart stopped as he saw some of the most creative magic ever produced in the universe let alohe p. He was overwhelmed by how simple yet effective the spell was. It was like it was cater-made to the skill level the man in front of him was at… Which was showing as nothing so he had to have an anti-sg spell active as well.

“I might have to steal that spell boyo. Far too effective for these normal demons to not make use of it.” I khat stantine would be able to use the spell himself. The biggest problem would be the boundary creation for the spell so I asked. “How would you set the boundaries of the spell? I have my own way but I’d like to hear how you’d deal with it.”
He thought about it for a moment before saying. “I’d probably just induce a small boundary and expand with magic or an artifatil it was the size I wanted.” I had to trol myself to not make pained noises as he just expined burning the power from a thousand-year artifact so he wouldn’t o do calcutions.
It was the equivalent of putting out a campfire with a swimming pool in terms of mana wastage. I guess people who were born with eight circles already didn't o worry about things like how much a spell cost. I had already cast the spell seven times and it meant that the mana stored in the magis was already spent and I was usiernal sources like mana diamonds to make up the cost. It was getting to be a fairly expensive cost to protect the city.
As I tossed stantine a bag with a little handful of the demons' corrupted mana I warned him. “That’s corrosive as fuck. Don’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary or you find a good enough vessel to not injure your soul or corrupt the spell with that demonia.”
He tossed the bag up before ret. “Not the first time I’ve pyed with demonic magics but I’ll take that into sideration.” The bag disappeared as it came down aurned and walked towards the only rge amount of demons that were left. I could feel it as well, that is where the demons were ing from.
I try to think of what is in that dire and the only thing I think of is… The Baxter building which meant… “Fug Reed Richards.”
