Antipossession organisms

Antipossession organisms are the result of an immune response that happens in every animate after having been exposed to a hostile possession by a foreign organism. Involuntary possession can only happen once, after that the person's immune system reacts and is theoretically immune from possession of that particular spirit or demon. So, to persuade the host of further service, the demon can bring gifts, known as Potentials via a pact. 
== Paradikias antibody ==
The organisms created post possession (called Paradikias antibodies)  themselves are a type of antibody specifically evolved to repel spiritual possession. The organism itself is thought to be a type of sentiment which acts as a repellent for beings capable of spiritual possession. it is unknown how or why voluntary possession doesn't cause the creation of these antibodies. 
== Mechanics ==
When a lifeform is involuntarily possessed, it's body immediately starts fighting against it, creating antibodies against further possession. This means that generally a spirit or demon can only possess one creature once, and then never again as the possessed will have adapted to reject future spiritual possession. 
== Limitations ==
Paradikias, while an incredibly useful trait has some severe limitations, its specificity to a spirit or demon, and the inability to create a preventive vaccine. 
=== Specificity of paradikias to a single spirit or demon ===
Unfortunately, each spirit or demon has its own specificities, so an immunity to one spirit will not always protect against future possession attempts, even when paradikias antibodies are present. Even if paradikias antibody variants were created for each spirit and demon, it would not work due to paradikias' non preventive nature. 
=== Non preventive nature of paradikias ===
Paradikias cannot be introduced to the body by injecting weakened forms of saccharomyces demonica. When possessing a host, a spirit or demon has complete control of the host as long as it doesn't leave its body. Should it leave, it isn't able to return due to the presence of the antibody. However, paradikias doesn't work as intended as long as the invading spiritual possessor hasn't left the host body. For this reason a vaccine is impossible to produce as a preventive measure. 
== Legality ==
Involuntary possession is illegal in Dalmer law. In legal settings proof of possession can be made by ascertaining the presence of Paradikias antibodies specifically related to the rejection of spiritual possession.
