A Daemon’s sorcerous powers – indeed its entire being – are fixed at the moment of creation. Daemons cannot grow, develop or learn as mortals can. Those Daemons steeped in the mysteries of magic were created with that knowledge and, though it rarely grows or diminishes, such power is a primal expression of the Dark Gods’ will.
A Wizard with ‘Lore of Daemons’ special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells that corresponds to their Daemonic Alignment listed below.
