Instigator — the stage at which the path first begins to work with someone else's will. The body strengthens on the basis of the previous one, but, apart from speed, combat qualities hardly grow: something else matters here.
Instigation awakens the evil desires dormant in the depths of the human heart and pushes people toward cruel crimes. It acts both openly and on its own — passively, without any deliberate effort on the bearer's part.
The method of action explains how it works on a crowd, and this explanation is unpleasantly precise:
to instigate people to crimes and sow discord;
to raise an entire group, it is enough to understand the situation and ignite a spark in the first few — and they themselves will become instigators and draw in the rest, growing like a snowball;
instigation is a means, not an end: its essence lies in understanding the core of the matter and of the person.
It is from this stage that it becomes clear how the Demoness's path differs from martial ones. It does not need to win: it is enough for it that people do everything themselves.
