Thaumogenesis

When Buffy was resurrected at the beginning of season six, a demon was created (unwittingly) to counteract the spell (After Life). This is known as thaumogenesis. The demon has no form of its own, so it must borrow people’s bodies - temporarily possessing them. It can only become flesh if it kills the subject of the original spell. If unable to do so, the demon would eventually dissipate.

      The term “thaumogenesis” is also used later the same year in Angel’s third season episode “The Price”, in which the Fang Gang encounter supernatural beings created as a result of Angel’s abuse of dark magicks
