Porthus's Evicted Demon Note

Do Not Teleport a Demon Shell

A second-edition cookbook warning distinguishes evicted-demon shells from ordinary possession and forbids teleporting them.

Story so far

Porthus compares an evicted demon's body to a root grabbed by a falling creature: a temporary physical anchor rather than a recoverable host. Once the demon enters, the shell's original identity is destroyed permanently.

He recommends fire and decapitation, warns against grapples into Hades, and cautions that healing magic may unpredictably strengthen an infernal occupant rather than harm it.

His strongest instruction is never to teleport a possessed shell away. The body will move and dissipate, freeing the demon in its unrestricted form. Samantha's mass recall immediately demonstrates this exact disaster.

Appearance

A heavily emphasized cookbook page showing a shell teleport crossed out beside a full-sized demon.

Role

The note supplies the critical technical distinction that explains why the mass recall creates free demons.

Relationships

Crawler Porthus — Porthus authors the second-edition entry.
Former Shell Demon Release — The note predicts this mechanism exactly.
Demon Shell Possession — It clarifies that the shell's original person cannot be recovered.
Samantha — Her teleport violates the prohibition at battlefield scale.
