@Party: 1. Which is one of my biggest gripes with the setting as a whole. Nevertheless you seem to have forgotten two crucial differences between mana erosion which you refer to and what the extremists do. First of them is speed. Mana erosion is generally a slow process. It is entirely possible for humans co-exist with mamono for generations before the land becomes a DR(see Zipangi).Second one is the intent or more accurately, lack of it. Monsterisation via mana erosion is usually an accident quite unlike what the extremists do. 1b. With regards to me becoming an incubus: that why I am still ultimately undecided on the whole order vs DL business. 2. The difference comes from the degree of control as well as complete lack of flexibility. You can not NOT follow her order even if it becomes suicidal. And yes sure she will never knowingly give such an order  but the lack of flexibility means that a perfectly innocent command can become dangerous. Once again an example is due. Your demon wife asked you to wait at home while she is off on some minor business of hers. You gave zero problems with that, and do whatever you normally do at home. Untilmthat is you realiss that for whatever reason your house is on fire. The way out is clear and you try to get out except that you can’t. Your wife ordered you to stay in the house and the contract forces you to do so despite the risk. 3. *facepalm* Really Party? That’s the best you’ve got? Incidentally, you seem to have missed the key point of my argument. Perfectly understandable considering it is hidden in a massive wall of text but nevertheless. That point is that you(or more precisely the guy ,I assume you are) sacrifice a lot for nothing simply because her side of contract is meaningless, makes no difference whatsoever and the same result could be obtained without even bothering with the contract.
