The spell of the demon is a dark and dangerous ritual used to summon and control demonic forces. It is believed that those who know and perform this spell gain unimaginable power and control over the supernatural world. However, engaging in such sorcery comes with grave consequences, for the demon called upon is sinister and malevolent. The origins of the spell are murky, with traces leading back centuries to ancient civilizations and cults. The demon, once summoned, possesses the sorcerer and twists their desires into greater acts of malevolence. This lust for power blinds the sorcerer to the horrors that their actions unleash upon the world.

DND 5th Edition
You utter foul words, summoning one demon from the chaos of the Abyss. You choose the demon’s type, which must be one of challenge rating 5 or lower, such as a shadow demon or a barlgura. The demon appears in an unoccupied space you can see within range, and the demon disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
Roll initiative for the demon, which has its own turns. When you summon it and on each of your turns thereafter, you can issue a verbal command to it (requiring no action on your part), telling it what it must do on its next turn. If you issue no command, it spends its turn attacking any creature within reach that has attacked it.
At the end of each of the demon’s turns, it makes a Charisma saving throw. The demon has disadvantage on this saving throw if you say its true name. On a failed save, the demon continues to obey you. On a successful save, your control of the demon ends for the rest of the duration, and the demon spends its turns pursuing and attacking the nearest non-demons to the best of its ability. If you stop concentrating on the spell before it reaches its full duration, an uncontrolled demon doesn’t disappear for 1d6 rounds if it still has hit points.
As part of casting the spell, you can form a circle on the ground with the blood used as a material component. The circle is large enough to encompass your space. While the spell lasts, the summoned demon can’t cross the circle or harm it, and it can’t target anyone within it. Using the material component in this manner consumes it when the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 4th.
This further emphasizes the intricate nature of the spell and its inherent danger. Those who seek to harness the power of the spell of the demon often do so out of desperation, greed, or a thirst for dominance. However, they fail to recognize the price they must pay for tampering with forces beyond their comprehension. The demon is not easily controlled and will inevitably turn on its summoner, consuming their soul and leaving them as empty vessels of darkness. Throughout history, there have been accounts of individuals who have attempted to utilize the spell of the demon. However, these accounts are shrouded in secrecy and ambiguity. It is said that those who have been fortunate enough to survive the encounter with the demon are forever plagued by nightmares and haunted by their past actions. In conclusion, the spell of the demon is a forbidden and perilous practice that should never be undertaken. The lure of power is a tempting proposition, but the consequences are unimaginable. The demonic forces unleashed by this spell will forever alter the course of one's life, ultimately leading to their own demise. It serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between good and evil and the dangers that lie within the darkness..

The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and I found myself cringing at the character interactions. The author attempted to create an eerie atmosphere, but it came across as cheesy and contrived. I would not recommend this book to anyone."

The characters lacked depth and personality, making it hard to invest in their struggles. Additionally, I found the resolution of the main conflict to be unsatisfying and predictable. Overall, I was underwhelmed by this book and would not read another from this author."

"I have to say that 'Spell of the Demon' was a complete waste of my time. The writing was amateurish and riddled with grammatical errors, which constantly distracted me from the story. The plot was predictable and filled with clichés, offering no surprises or suspense. The characters were one-dimensional and unrelatable, making it impossible to care about their fates. I strongly advise against picking up this book."

"'Spell of the Demon' had potential, but it failed to live up to it. The story started promisingly enough, but it quickly became repetitive and predictable.

While it had some redeeming qualities, overall, I did not find it to be a satisfying read."
