A spirit full of mana often an inward mentor, a source of inspiration, and a moral guardian to an individual.
Daimon is the Greek derivative for the term demon. In this sense the term "demon" means "replete with knowledge." The ancient Greeks thought there were good and bad demons called 'eudemons' and 'cacodemons.' The term 'daimon' means "divine power," "fate" or "god." Daimons, in Greek mythology, included deified heroes. They were considered intermediary spirits between men and the gods. Good daimons were considered to be guardian spirits, giving guidance and protection to the ones they watched over. Bad daimons led people astray. Socrates said he had a life-time daimon that always warned him of danger and bad judgment, but never directed his actions. He said his daimon was more accurate than omens of either watching the flights or reading the entrails of birds, which were two respected forms of divination of the time.

Found in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Vampire series. The daimons are another word for vampires. They are immortals that stop aging at the age of 27 where they constantly feed off of human souls to continue living. They are a race cursed by the Greek god Apollo and led by the Atlatean goddess, Apollymi who has a grudge again Apollo for killing her only son.
The daimon stalked the woman out of the bar so he could trap her in the ally and eat her soul.

Something that's a little less bad than evil.
Like being in a car accident that doesn't really harm any of the people in the car but it totals the vehicle.
Or the realization that a friend you had lost and regretted losing wasn't really worth any amount of concern because he didn't follow the tenants of his beliefs.
It's daimonic, not demonic.
Fuck, Dustin turned out to be a judgemental mfr. He put himself out there like he loves and respects everyone but he totally just turned his back on someone he loved because they didn't agree with his nature worship and needed a pantheistic representation of a god instead. No shit, that's daimonic!
