Demon Marionette

Demon Marionette (操魔王支配) is a forbidden Mental Magic and the Ultimate Demon Dominate spell used by the former Demon Lord Clayman, being his ultimate technique in mind dominating arsenal.

Abilities
One of Clayman's most powerful curses that is capable of putting Demon Lord-level entities such as Ninehead under his control.

The user summons ominous strings of black light from both of their hands. As these strings are summoned together, they expand themselves while immediately wrapping around the target's body, seemingly restricting their movements.

Once the target is bound by the strings, the user then has the ability to take over their very spirit itself and place them under their control. Since the curse targets their Spiritual Body itself, it cannot be resisted through natural means unless the target in question can think with their Astral Body like a Spiritual Lifeform or has a Skill capable of altering laws and nature of objects.

The user can apply this curse on the target by either using the magic directly on the intended target or by utilizing an item infused with the curse magic such as the Orb of Domination.
