Not sure. I imagine that manipulating demonic energy would be very different from manipulating spirit energy so the user would have to get a decent handle on it before trying to do anything with it. I imagine an Incubus magic user could probably use both types of energy after they got used to DE. If the DL and CG tried to negotiate the problems wpuld be solved very quickly, however the CG doesn't want to negotiate and doesn't want the problems solved. The CG wants everything to go back to the way it was with the periodic genocide of monsters and humans to maintain balance in her poorly designed world. The only monster that really does mind control is the Mindflayer, the way DE effects the mind is less about making you do stuff and more about getting you to do the stuff you want to do but normally wouldn't. A classic example is a member of the order getting "corrupted" the monster doing is attractive to them (mamono have tendency to avoid people who are genuinely repulsed by them) however they resist their own lust. The DE brings the previously repressed desires out so the person will act on them. I imagine that if you have enough of it shooting a giant mass of concentrated DE or SE would make for a decent attack and putting one up could a decent defense. I don't see why it wouldn't.
