Limitations

  • Some entities may be harder to exorcise than others, if not altogether unexorcisable.
    • An entity that is exorcised in a similar way multiple times may end up developing resistance/immunity to that particular method.
    • An entity that is exorcised may try to possess a new host when exorcised.
  • Some exorcisms may require certain items to work, such as ingredients to a spell.
  • Exorcism may be painful or even fatal for the possessed.
  • People possessed by entities may need to have the exorcism done depending on the culture of what the entity is. Such as using Japanese culture to banish Japanese spirits.
