This is a serious question, btw. I‘m fairly new to the concept of demons and keep realising that I have knowledge gaps.
The starting point is fairly clear: people invoke a demon, and things take off from there.
But the end… is there a clear „end point“? Do we all just wake up one morning, after 7 (or X) years, demons are gone, birds are tweeting and everybody is their usual self again?
Or is there no clearly defined „end“, with demons making the most of some people for years to come - and these people, potentially, being so confused and tormented that they might wreak havoc around them?
I‘m strictly asking about the demonic part here, btw. I know fully well that the societal and other consequences of all this will keep us busy for years to come, as you quite rightly said.
But just looking at the demon hypothesis, at old lore about it, and at previous examples like the third reich: how and in which way does something like that end?

PS: Being German, of course I know how the third reich ended. But I can‘t recall anybody discussing an occult dimension to it, let alone on how that dimension ended. Clearly, I haven‘t been reading the interesting stuff… ;-)
