Inversion Impulse

Sentient magical beings (in the case of Homuha, vampires and oni ) are constantly balancing the human mind, which was given the divine gift of rationality by The Root, and the primal mind, which is held by all things in nature.

The primal mind of sentient magical beings gives them a primal urge (impulse) to do things such as drink blood, kill others, save others, do battle, and so on. Because these impulses are not compatible with modern society, sentient magical beings are constantly restraining them.

Falling prey to one's primal urges is known as an Inversion Impulse. It causes one to lose one's humanity until he or she is satiated.

Sometimes the urge can be satiated quickly, e.g. a vampire being satiated by drinking blood, or a demon warrior being satiated by dying in battle, but it's possible for one to succumb to insanity forever.
