Banish Daemon is the most effective spell to deal with a daemon.

Spell Description[edit]

As was mentioned for the Summon Daemon spell, a raging daemon can be very dangerous. Since death at the hands of such an enemy is a forgone conclusion, this spell is a more elegant solution. Casting Banish Daemon sends the daemon right back to its home in the pits. The sorcery behind such a spell is as effective as it is expensive; many reagents and a good focus are required. This spell should always be at hand for a sorcerer when dealing with these unpredictable and wicked creatures.

Lore[edit]

Deam2.gif
As the name so plainly states, this spell will usually return a daemon to its home in the Fire of the volcano. Unfortunately, even the most skilled Sorcerers have been known to perform an unsuccessful banishment.
This spell attempts to force a Daemon to return to the plane of Fire from which it was summoned. Although not always successful, this is a Sorcerer’s best defense against these beasts.
– from Banish Daemon (Ultima VIII)


Trivia[edit]

  • One of these spells is needed in Malchir’s final test, as he summons a daemon without notice, making it necessary for the Avatar to have prepared the spell in advance.
  • Arcadion is susceptible to this spell as well.
