Herald of Xotli
Some demonologists are either too weak minded or venture too far down the path of demonology to remain untainted. The Heralds are those that bargained with the demon god Xotli and paid the ultimate price, becoming a host to true demonic powers. In battle, the Herald transforms into a demon, preferring to melee opponents and feel the enemy’s flesh tear rather than rely on spells, although they retain a fearsome arsenal of spells to call upon as needed.

Still, the Demonologist is powerful enough to bring demons to this realm and bind them to service.
