If Illyana's power is truly demonic in origin, that is a cause for concern; I have more experience with corrupting ritual than I would wish. However, she does not seem to be a direct threat, and it is a tenet of my order that in the full turning of the circle, even demons may achieve enlightenment; our word for the destruction of demons descends from the root "to liberate" rather than "to kill," and speaks of destroying only that which chains them to evil, letting that which is in them capable of seeking upward do so. It is best to accomplish this using only the force already unleashed, turning it back upon itself, and perhaps that is what Illyana does. I leave that determination in more capable hands than my own.
For now, if more demons come seeking her: in my experience, anything which lives, and some things that do not, can be killed, and you are not the only defender this place has against such threats, I promise you.
