It is known that mages are able to walk the Fade while completely aware of their surroundings. Demons are drawn to mages, though whether it is because of this awareness or simply by virtue of their magical power in our world is unknown. Regardless of the reason, a demon always attempts to possess a mage when it encounters one—by force or by making some kind of deal depending on the strength of the mage. Should the demon get the upper hand, the result is an unholy union known as an abomination.
—From Codex entry: AbominationAn abomination is the result of a demon possessing a living human or elf. Mages are most commonly the ones unfortunate enough to be possessed, as they draw their magic from the Fade. The ritual of Harrowing employed by the Circle of Magi also results in abominations time and again. While it is theoretically possible to free someone who has been possessed, it has never been done, mostly because of the risk involved in such an attempt—it is much safer to utterly destroy the creature.
