Lesser demon

Lesser Demons are the lower of the two classifications of demon. This includes but is by no means limited to minor demons. Demons of the lesser class range in power from weak, nonsentient animals to powerful sentient beings, capable of destructive magic or possessing significant battle prowess.

Lesser Demon is also synonymous for the upper level demons of the lesser demon class. To elaborate, minor demons are the weakest of the lesser demon class, and lesser demons are the strongest of the lesser demon class. Lesser demons are also sometimes called greater demons, to avoid confusion between the class and the specific designation assigned to upper level lesser demon class. This has caused significant confusion of its own, creating confusion over whether or not the person is speaking of lesser demons or demons of the major class.

Lesser demons can be only be summoned by the most powerful beings and the Faendryl. This information is considered by the Faendryl to be a tactical superiority, and as such, the knowledge is not shared. The summoning of lesser demons is rather complicated, and only the strongest summoners can keep a lesser demon under his or her control without much effort. In the hands of a weaker summoner, lesser demons can break free and attack whoever they desire, most often the summoner.
