Why this word is great
DEMONOMAGY — [Noun] Magic in which the aid of demons is invoked; the formal practice of black magic. From the combining form demono- (from Greek daimōn, "demon") and the Ancient Greek μαγεία (mageía, "magic"). Unlike theurgy (which calls upon benign deities for enlightenment) or necromancy (which trafficks with the restless dead), demonomagy is a direct and perilous negotiation with malevolent intelligence. It is the precise geometry of a chalk circle meant to contain a snarling name, the guttural chant that vibrates the bones more than the air, and the sudden, metallic taste before a whispered voice names its price—a dark arithmetic where the soul is the smallest currency on the table, and some doors, once opened, cannot be closed.
