*Darren (example in [[List of Books#Demesnes|Demesnes]].)<ref><em>Darren</em> is a dabbling Oni 
practitioner, bartering with those Others who eschewed label and sought 
to war against Practice itself.  Many Oni went out of their way to 
specifically attack, subvert or exploit the convention of Practice, and 
Darren barters with Oni for these techniques to supplement his general 
practice as an illusionist.  Sharp knives, in a sense, to wield in the 
fog.  He creates his Demesne as a place to practice and catalogue this 
knowledge, for it comes with strict rules.

Darren marks out a table, lit from an 
unseen source of light, surrounded by shadow, and the tableaus depicting
 the various arts he’s learned and gifts he’s been given, kept secret 
enough by the dark.  He makes the space one for Oni to be invited to, a 
difficult process when Oni are opposed to practice.  He makes the 
central space of the Demesne one that is for Oni, not himself, as 
something of a counter-Demesne or forfeited space.  With this, the 
invitations become easy.  With the right props, such as tea poured into a
 golden cup, the assumption of a visit from a specific Other is enough 
that they can easily travel to him, stepping out of the shadow and to 
the opposite end of the table.
