"...And a physicist with a doctorate might only need to change a number in one of the universe's physical laws in his imagination to make the universe collapse."
"Aleister's Spirit Binding was precisely based on the limits of a Demon God's imagination and knowledge. Using his own knowledge, which rivaled that of a Demon God, he drove it into the Demon God's imagination, then triggered a tenfold increase."
"...The amplification of imagination that erupted in that instant could inflict damage on a Demon God."
But it could only inflict damage. That thing could not kill a Demon God.
Many people could use the Spirit Binding technique. Not to mention Aleister, the Demon Gods themselves and even the Wiccan magicians of North America could use it.
The reason the Demon Gods did not use this technique in their battles was that they knew they could not kill each other. Even if they injured a Demon God, it would be meaningless.
Even if an ordinary magician used this technique against a Demon God, it would have no effect, because a magician's knowledge was not even one ten-billionth of a Demon God's. Even increasing it a hundred million times would be useless.
Magic also depended on the person using it. The reason Aleister could injure a Demon God was that Aleister himself was formidable, possessing an enormous amount of knowledge—not because the technique itself was powerful.
But this showed that Aleister had thoroughly studied the Demon Gods. All the techniques he specialized in exploited their limitations. He devoted himself entirely to figuring out how to trick them.
