“Everything has to be physical: blood, flesh, corpses. But what if the soul could play a part in necromancers' arts? Maybe that having a little "friend" with them could help them reach their full potential.
— Daemon release notes
- :
Daemon is an elite specialization for the necromancer that focuses on haunting skills and pressure. It also allows the necromancer to wield two swords.

Backstory[edit]
Some monsters attack your body, others can aim straight for the soul. Once a spirit is attached to a soul, it is quite difficult to get rid of it. Luckily, necromancers know how to play with the Underworld.
Thanks to a soul and flesh pact, necromancers can use the power of the daemon attached to them, letting the little pest take control over their body once in a while.
