True Death
A True Death is the act of destroying the essence of a Daemon entirely, rather then simply banishing it back to the Warp as is the case with the destruction of most Daemons slain in the Materium. Often a true death requires a use of a special relic, ritual, or an overwhelming amount of psychic might.[1][2]
