Since the gist of chaos magick is that belief is what manifests things into reality. Would that make demons simply dormant forces/entities?
what did you mean by this?Would that make demons simply dormant forces/entities?
Well, would it make sense that demons aren't exactly supernatural beings but instead are just forces you can use. Perhaps they aren't exactly conscious beings but instead are forces to be wielded?no.
but elaborate

Fair enough. That actually does make a lot more sense.I would say that they would be servitors/egregores/tulpas in Chaos magic.
Careful with the "just." Chainsaws, cars, guns are also just tools, but they can turn pretty unforgiving if established safety procedures are not faithfully followed.don't forget about god-forms! they're just tools too
You read a lot of anecdotes about people specifically creating 'ordinary' servitors and then the servitors turn out not to obey them very well (or ofc too well). So that's clearly on the mage.Treat them like servitors/egregores, and that's what you get, I suppose. Ok, go ahead, fool around with those 'created' spirits but at your own peril, traditionalists would probably add.
Egregores abound in most cultures, as do god-forms. There are even some found in Animistic social groups, unintentionally "manifested."Treat them like servitors/egregores, and that's what you get, I suppose.
