Demon Shintai

The Demon Shintai allows a Kuei-jin to manifest his Inner Demon, transforming his flesh to resemble the servants of Yomi Wan. This Discipline is occasionally taught by evil spirits, in exchange for the character's service in the material world. Cathayans who assume their demon form too often are likely to attract the notice of the Yama Kings. Each Demon form is unique and depends on the P'o of the user.

Kuei-jin who assume their demon forms regulary are called rakshas by their brethren. In order to use the Demon Shintai, Demon Chi is needed.
