"Delphire, listen carefully. The true name of this fool is 'Toiss #403157'. You can find its mark in the Endless Purgatory! Quickly, curse it!"
The deceitful smile froze on Messika's face. A secret known to all magicians versed in dealing with demons is:

This mark is the demon's true name, the source of their power.
Every demon—whether lowly or powerful—has a unique name known only to itself and shared with no one. Yet historically, some demons have lost their names for various reasons, often meeting a grim fate of eternal enslavement.
To possess a demon's true name is to command them to do anything. Though exaggerated, this evil wizard's tale does hold a grain of truth.
