	Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] has several positive impacts on Torment. Most notably, it will decrease the benefit that the target receives for the caster having a spell prepared. If the caster has a spell prepared when a Torment round hits the target, the target receives a TD boost of +50. For every 2 ranks of Demonology Lore, that boost will decrease by 1 point, with the maximum reduction of 50 points (target TD boost of 0) achieved at 100 ranks. If the caster has no spell prepared, Demonology ranks instead may cause the demon to inflict more damage. Finally, increased training in Demonology will allow the caster to control more individual demonic forces of this type at a time.
