Summon Lesser Demon is then a thrown spell and the subject is a freshly killed human corpse.

Summon Demon is thrown on a freshly killed giant corpse.

Makes it more interesting!

Another even more entangled option would be to require a living body for the Demon to possess.

Works out to the same thing as you could never trust that person again.

Also: Each wish adds one to a figure's weirdness magnet attribute. (Starts at zero and GM rolls two to six dice against this daily, depending on location.)

Only way to reduce this total is with a wish (made by somebody else of course).

I like this too. Fits well with the approach I want to take for demons... namely that they are physical manifestations of anti-life entities from a dimension of negative energy. They can exist on this plane only by possession of another living being which they can reshape as they desire.

The main difference I had in mind was the part about having to use a living person or giant, which some people or giants might object to, and which not everyone has spares of, whereas dead bodies (human ones at least) tend to be somewhat available as side effects of other events, without much extra impact of using one for a demon summoning.

Another nice idea with a lot of potential for fun memorable play...
