Abilities
Beyond the powers shared by every devil, among them the ability to bind contracts with humans in return for a price, the Mold Devil's full capabilities stay undocumented. The two pacts shown so far belong to Kato and Tanabe. Each bites into his own hand to draw blood, then points at a chosen victim, prompting mold to bloom inside that target's organs and bring on lethal internal bleeding. The infection takes hold only in the living, and cutting away the afflicted flesh stops it from spreading further. Its dread stems from mycophobia, the irrational fear of fungi.
