Hello. The Demon Physiology page for Devil May Cry includes a lot of rather strange abilities. I'll be going through this page and others in the verse over a period of time to remove the ones that are not appropriately justified. This is for the "Lower Tier Demons" section.

Abilities
Humans need a strong will to do that, but Beastheads are designed to absorb humans and replenish demons.Supernatural Willpower: Demons are capable of using the powers of the Beastheads, and it is confirmed that you need a strong will and mind to be able to do so and also to not get possessed by it[22]
This is just a portal that looks like a mirror. Immersion is defined as "crossing the boundary between reality and fiction." Mirror portals have nothing to do with that.
This is a special ritual the Order of the Sword conducts to imbue themselves with Demonic Power. There's no evidence that the average demon can just do that to other people, which is what its presence on the "Low Tier Demon Physiology" section would imply.
Causality Manip doesn't seem to make any sense here. Ducas is a was a low level street thug who gets ahold of a demonic artifact called the Beastheads, then later Chen intercepts him running from Dante, and plops him on a yacht and abandons him. Then:
All this really seems to indicate is that Chen has a window in his estate that allows him to view whats going on far away from him. This isn't Causality Manipulation in any sense of the word. What's going on in the "faraway oceans" is happening in real time, and there's no indication that Chen can influence it. Definitely remove."We've lost contact with the yacht, sir. Something to do with the weather."
Chen nodded slowly at the report. "I was expecting something like this. Young Mister Ducas is in possession of an item said to have been crafted by the King of the Underworld himself. Supernatural happenings are to be expected in these circumstances. I suspect our friend is enduring a moment of utter despair. There's a little better for enabling the truth to flow freely."
Chen eased himself off a voluminous leather sofa and crossed to a large window. Ducas' yacht appeared to be floating just outside, swallowed up and spat back out by black clouds.
"The techniques of the demon realm are truly remarkable," Chen said, more to himself than anyone else. "Faraway oceans and distant events can be brought to us as if we could reach out and pluck Mister Ducas from my ship. And these are just the powers of the lesser demons. Imagine what we might achieve with the abilities of a higher devil, or the Beastheads itself."
Resistances
This is an immensely stupid way to justify "resistance to pain manipulation."
Why would this be "resistance to physics manipulation?"Physics Manipulation: Demons live in the Demon World, where the laws of physics are different from the Human World.[38]
Why would this be "resistance to gravity manipulation?"Gravity Manipulation: Demons live in the Demon World, where the laws of gravity are different from the Human World.[25]
Ducas had the Beastheads for days and neither he nor anyone around him simply died on the spot or something.Death Manipulation: Demons are unaffected by the Beasthead's mere presence, which is capable of robbing the life from everything in its surroundings, including sounds, waves and wind, as well as living creatures[39]
