Ascension

Ascension is the name used to refer to the transformation of a human being into a the embodimient of a pure demon, and Old One. Ascension is not a ritual in itself, but rather the result of several rituals and ceremonies, some of which are different depending on the demon the sorcerer attempts to become.

Throughout the centuries, only a few Ascensions have been recorded due to the destruction and massacres caused by the new demons.
