Demons experience an uncontrollable and intense burst of emotion and power known as Evil Cycle when their stress level reaches a critical point. This loss of reason can lead them to commit acts of violence and sadism without regard for their inhibitions or limits. An Evil Cycle can enhance the user's magical abilities, but it also consumes their mana quickly and reduces their inhibitions. As such, triggering an Evil Cycle requires a great deal of training, and it is associated with a Return to the Origin—a state of wild, destructive behavior that harkens back to the primordial demons. Each individual's Evil Cycle is influenced by their sense of self and their bloodline, an example being Asmodeus demons whose origins were known to govern both Virtue and Destruction. In their cycle they becomes less friendly and turn more lustful and sadistic, craving destruction while being elegant. This power can make you formidable, but it also carries with it the risk of losing control.
