Evil spirit making November follow March (5)
I believe the answer is:
demon
'evil spirit' is the definition.
(demon is a kind of evil spirit)
'november follow march' is the wordplay.
'november' becomes 'n' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'follow' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'march' becomes 'demo' (I've seen this before).
'n' after 'demo' is 'DEMON'.
'making' is the link.
(Other definitions for demon that I've seen before include "Wizard" , "Devil - master performer" , "malignant spirit" , "Fallen angel" , "ace" .)
