Most of the demons that visit the physical world are either on a mission from a deity, hence angels, or on a mission of self-aggrandizement, so when most people talk about “demons†they usually mean something big and nasty. Some scholars of magic say daimon to indicate their technical usage rather than the common one.

In its original Latin form daemon means a spirit, a genie, or genius who gave intuition, insight, and inspiration. Such a spirit allowed human beings to converse with the gods.

The "good" demon in recent use is largely a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's demon), though references to good demons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare.
