These types of sorcerer demons weren't fairly common in mythology, but were very common in fantasy and greatly feared.

Demon mages are lesser to Demon Sorcerers and Transcendent Demon Mages, and so they might/or will struggle against these higher-tiered mages who used magic to become god-like, depending on the entity in question or the demon magician. Demon magicians through their studies also have the potential to transcend themselves into these higher tiers with enough magical power and knowledge.
