The Soot Demon

General Information

Small demons are strangely allowed to be kept by mages if found, despite their dubious origins, and much scarier older family. These tiny demons are harmless, though, depending on what they are made of. There have been reports of multiple elemental types being found, and some of these elements seem to lack any sort of connection to our own magic. As such, if found, these mysterious sprites make great study material for a thesis.

Many mages have tried to research the various types of small demon, but all have been hampered by the tendency of even the mellowest to cause mischief. Though not overtly harmful, small demons are inherently aggravating, overturning inkwells, turning notes into confetti, and turning irreplaceable books into elaborate origami sculptures.

Adult Information

Soot demons are a mischievous brand of small demon, known for playing tricks upon wandering mages who feel that these small creatures pose no threat. Although, they do pose no threat, they would prefer to be viewed as dangerous. Thankfully, their antics only go so far as to throw dust at you.

Soot demons often team up with other varieties of small demon, the better to play tricks on people. They get along especially well with shock demons, whose boundless energy leads to bigger and better pranks, but can't stand fire demons, who are more interested in being grumpy than in having fun. <br> (Extra Information by Mathcat)
