In so-called death magic, the Bastard sent a death demon to collect two souls: normally those of the asker and the target. However, in the case of Cazaril and Dondo dy Jironal, the Lady of Spring intervened. The demon and Dondo's soul were encapsulated within Cazaril's abdomen until he was later stabbed by Martou dy Jironal. The demon then escaped with Dondo and Martou's souls.
Umegat pondered to Cazaril on the question of whether the Bastard had many death demons or only one for all death magic used in the world.
It was not clear if the death demon and chaos demons were related beyond the name.
