Well, they're eating people's souls to get the magic inside of them. Escanor's power coming from his soul and being filled with that magic seems fairly self-explanatory.

Oddly enough, they both seemed to come to their senses as soon as he cut Galan in half. Also, you could probably say his decision making skills were happened by drinking, and even then, he still had no reason to actually consider the lowly (in his mind) human barkeep a threat.

Edit: That comment in the Ten Commandments sections got me to thinking; I very much doubt the Demon King would give one of his elite warriors a power that doesn't let them kill, so what exactly could the "thou shalt not kill" commandment do? If we're assuming Zeldris has the same powe as Meliodas (and I think we've established both us of are) that one fits him well, but I  wonder how that works. He tried to kill Meliodas, was assigned to execute the vampires, and is clearly a seasoned warrior. I think that potential intersts me more than any of the others.
