Exorcism Magic

Exorcism Magic is a type of magic used to expel harmful, often demonic, forces from a target and manipulate them to an extent. A difficult and circumstantial art, exorcism techniques can sometimes have undesired side effects even when utilized by skilled mages.

Mechanics
When employing exorcism magic, the user forcibly expels a malignant, typically demonic, presence from the humon host being possessed and moves them to another space. Particularly skilled users can not only extract the demons but move them into different vessels. Exorcism techniques typically involve physical contact with the user, such as the head, and invoking the magic. Therefore, the technique can be used on the undead as well.

As a result, the reverse can also be done and a user can have specific targets possessed. While only a skilled mage is capable of controlling demons, other individuals were nonetheless capable of controlling the demon with the aid of said mage. Likewise, the Clockworker's Doll was particularly useful in controlling Demons of Sin for even non-mages to manipulate.

As a side effect of an exorcism, some hosts with a demon forcibly removed would lose their memories of up to the previous five years due to the trauma. Exorcism techniques were also ineffective against demons that were already deeply rooted into the soul of their host, making it impossible to exorcise them conventionally. However, techniques that reverse the effects of the demons' taking root, such as the Clockwork Secret Art, can make the exorcisms viable.
