The Power of Mind Magic

The day has come. The day which every demon looks forward to. The day of maturity, being the most important day for a demon of any race, but especially for a demon of the devil race, and even more so for a demon of the caliber of Asmodeus. Devils were known to wield all different kinds of demonic magic, and it was really luck of the draw when it came to what kind. As the son of a high ranking demon, Asmodeus's magic was nearly guaranteed to be far stronger than lower ranking demons' magic, even of the same kind.

Notoriously, mind magic was the weakest in every possible way. Firstly, it had an absurd mana cost, often requiring weeks on end to regain the amount of mana it used. Secondly, the strongest mind magic user of all time, Lucius, was an exceptionally powerful high devil, and even he barely had the power to affect any demon, only using his magic to manipulate common village people into attacking their far more powerful heroes. He abused the compassion of the humans in the Great War, but was caught off guard when he fought an enemy with no remorse. It was an infamous battle for both sides, as one of the main forces of the Lumis Kingdom's army made the decision to slaughter all of the village's residents, and left Lucius unprotected against the soldiers, protected by their mages' magic.

Now, Asmodeus didn't really have any preference, he just desperately hoped not to get mind magic. Anything but mind magic. He stepped into the room, looking around it's carpeted floors and arched ceilings, seeming overly grand for a building only used by a few demons at a time. He stepped up to the dais, sat in the plush armchair, and waited for the appraiser. Demons couldn't use their magic before maturity, so although mana pools were measured soon after birth, mana regeneration speed was unmeasurable. Asmodeus wrung his hands, anxiously anticipating his appraisal. He had lived a mostly laid back life of luxury, but this moment could make or break his future. His parents were kind to him, and had vowed to stand behind him no matter what kind of magic he was found to have, but he would have trouble being self-sufficient if his magic strength wasn't on par.

The appraiser stepped into the room and onto the dais. She was an attractive demon. Though Asmodeus preferred them curvier, her trim build and modest B cup breasts were irrefutably attractive, and Asmodeus gladly looked her over. Discreetly of course. Asmodeus looked up expectantly, as the appraiser approached casually. She looked him up and down inscrutably, before lifting her arm towards him. A light shone from her hand, and the appraiser dropped her clipboard. Her emotionless look changed to a look of disappointment, and then quickly to a look of shock.

"It's mind magic" she said, quickly adding "but not like you think."

Asmodeus's first reaction was one of disappointment, but he lightened a bit when he heard the appraiser's follow-up. "What do you mean?"

"You definitely have mind magic, but you also have the strongest magic power I've ever seen, possibly even ever recorded!" she exclaimed, all pretense of stoicism lost. "I can't quantify it, I have nothing to base it off of. We'll just have to see during the testing portion."

Asmodeus stood, apprehensive, but excited to test his new strength. Hesitantly hopeful, he let the appraiser lead the way to the testing room. She pressed a button near the door to call in a 'tester'. Their official title was tester, but everyone calls them 'victims'. They had the lowest tier of job, usually a last resort for demons who couldn't find other employment. This was why Asmodeus was so shocked to see an incredibly busty ogre woman step into the room. She was large, though not for an ogre. She was plump, maybe a slight bit too plump.

Asmodeus was pulled from his reverie as the appraiser tapped him on the shoulder and motioned for him to begin. He inhaled, closing his eyes, feeling his mana flow as he had practiced for most of his childhood. He opened his eyes as he harnessed the mana flow, nodding at the appraiser. He followed her instructions as she described to him the method to use his magic. However, when he was told how to target the tester, he paused for a moment, deliberating.
