Arrogance (Aoman)¶
Arrogance (傲慢, àomàn) is the inevitable outward expression of ignorance — the first step by which a life falls into resonance with demonic energy, and the most dangerous weed in the soul-garden of anyone pursuing sublimation. The cosmic archangel became the Demon King through arrogance; the devoted practitioner squanders all progress through the same fault.
