odd that macht continued to still be interested in coexistence even though the other demon lady told him not to bother

Makes you wonder if Solitär is an unique demon, because if demons are able to understand - logically - what "guilt" and "malice" are, even if they don't feel it, the enchantment is supposed to work because it says:
You must never commit any malicious acts towards us, the people of Weise (pg.9, ch 84)
It never said anything about Macht being malicious, only his acts. So if he understands the concept of malice, even if he doesn't feel it, it shouldn't be able to work because he would understand what he is doing is malicious, even if he doesn't feel it.

I'm guessing a demon could make any sort of mental gymnastics to avoid reaching that conclusion out of instinct of self preservation.

It could be, but when a writer starts to break their own rules the story starts to become too chaotic because anything goes.

I agree. Seems like for demon lore it's "anything goes as long as they kill people", in my opinion.

Malice is an intention.

If it was the expression "malicious intent" wouldn't exist, it would be redundant. Not only that, I wasn't talking about human logic, but demon "logic".
At the very least, the story is written as if malice is an intention.
