Expanded Demonic Magic (Su)
At 3rd level, and every 2 levels thereafter, the demon gains access to an additional natural spell. This natural spell is chosen from the following list, and may be cast by using stamina points in place of the spell point cost of the chosen spell; the demon uses their levels in demon classes as their BCB and their SPB.


 * Enhance Aspect, with the aspect of the bull talent.
 * Elemental Weapon, choosing dark or fire damage.
 * Elemental Blast, with the Improved Elemental Blast talent, choosing dark or fire damage. This may be selected a second time to allow the natural magic to be treated as if the demon had taken Improved Elemental Blast talent twice.

 * Personal Barrier

Hellfire(Su)
At 3rd level, the demon gains access to the ability to summon hellfire. Summoning hellfire creates a 10 foot radius burst within 60 feet of the demon. This must originate on the ground, but rises into the air 10 feet per demon level. For every 5 levels of demon classes the demon possesses, the radius and range of this ability improves by an additional 5 feet. Creatures within the pillar are subject to a reflex save attack (1d20 + ½ the demon’s hit dice + the demon’s charisma modifier), with a successful save attack dealing 1d4 fire and 1d4 dark damage per 2 levels in demon classes. The demon must wait 1d4 rounds between uses of this ability.

Demonic Rage (Ex)
At 4th level, the demon learns to hone their wild nature into a more focused destruction. This ability functions, and counts as, the barbarian’s rage class feature using the demon’s level in demon classes as their barbarian level to determine the effects of this ability; this also stacks with any levels in barbarian the demon may also possess.

Bleed Spirit(Su)
At 5th level, the demon learns to sap a creature’s strength without killing them to prolong their suffering. As a focused attack action, the demon may make an attack against a single creature. The attack itself deals no damage, but the creature begins to take a special type of bleed effect equal to the weapon’s damage dice. This functions as normal bleed except that the creature takes nonlethal damage each time the bleed would deal damage. When the creature would begin taking lethal damage from this nonlethal damage, the bleed effect immediately ends.

Demonic Ascension (Ex)
At 6th level, the demon becomes more powerful as they begin to evolve into a higher form of demon. The demon learns to further manipulate the soul of their foes. When the bleed from the demon’s spirit bleed is removed, either through healing or through the effect ending due to the target taking the limit of their nonlethal damage, the creature is subject to a Fortitude Save Attack (1d20 + ½ the demon’s hit dice + the demon’s charisma modifier). On a success, the creature takes 1d4 points of ability damage to its constitution and wisdom scores; for every additional degree of success, the ability damage from this ability improves by 1. The demon gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the ability damage dealt with this ability. In addition the demon gains the ability to cast their natural spells they possess while raging, and may apply its bonus to attack and damage rolls to the attack rolls, save attack rolls, and damage rolls of any natural spells they possess; and the demon may treat their hellfire as a natural spell for the purposes of this.
