Demonization

**Demonization** is a process performed by Demons of Sharpness, and Rupter demons. Wave demons like Negagen and Dia-Li-Lax and parasites like Crally are unable to demonize, as they are too weak.

## Information

Demonization rebuilds the body and many organs of the victim. It requires the victim to die regardless what, as the process causes organs such as the heart to stop functioning for a while, which results in death. Demonization changes the perspectives of the victim, often in a way that makes them subservient to their masters. However, some methods, such as Sark’s, can result in a mixed result, creating the possibility of the victim rebelling against their master. An example of this being Sark's Tails and Knuckles, as well as the male population of his victims as a whole. They gain the ability to disguise themselves as normal.

Demonized mortals have their lifespan extended by 1.08 times. The average lifespan of Mobians is 80 years, so this sums up to 86,6 years on average. They also take much longer to be erased—normal mortals will be erased in a matter of seconds.

## Methods

There are two methods of demonization: a simple method and a complex method.

### Simple

The simple method requires less energy, but it can completely break the psyche of the victim or twist it. Exetior used black rings for this method in *Sonic.exe Nightmare Beginning Remake*, and Sark and Pervision use this method on their victims.

### Complex

The complex method makes the victim stronger, smarter, and faster, and keeps their personality, but it takes longer and uses up more energy. The more pain the victim experiences before death, the more room for improvement there is. In this case, the energy for the improvement will mostly come from the victim themselves.

The greatest expenditure of energy is spent on the mental state of the victim. In particularly severe cases, it can require a lot of extra energy. This is the reason why Vanilla could not be demonized—the way Tails killed her greatly harmed her psyche and would need huge energy resources.

It is possible for the victim to not go through great pain and still be demonized correctly, but this will require the demonizer to use their own energy reserves to improve the victim.

In order for this method to work, the victim’s brain needs to be preserved. While this is usually an impossibility, Exetior is capable of doing this by using his magic to place a seal, which allows him to keep the victim’s mind intact. While they are unable to demonize in this method, other demons and demonized victims are able to create and place this seal, making it possible to safely kill the target for later demonization.

## Reverse demonization

Reversing the effects demonization is possible, but the vast majority of demons will not do this because there is no need, and some genomes cannot be "anti-demonized".

The problem stems from how demonization rebuilds many of the organs, and reverse demonization will have negative consequences as the rebuilt organism will not be able to fully rebuild itself back and there will be a lot of damage.
