Surmandum is a spell that returns life to dead companions.
Spell Description[edit]
This is one of the most powerful spells available to the cleric. Surmandum is next to being a miracle as it returns the body of a dead companion back to life. This is a very taxing spell for the cleric, as it violates fundamental laws of nature, and is prone to error. Should the casting of this spell fail, the body will be burnt to ashes; only Anju Sermani can then return the departed companion back to life in that case, and at the cost of 5 points of the caster's wisdom.
By the time of Ultima IV, the Resurrect spell was safe to cast.
Lore[edit]
| “ | Thine enlightenment has led thee to step beyond almost every limitation of this earth. It is now within thy power to step into the realm of death and draw one who has been there engulfed back into the world of life.
Release thy spirit and allow it to venture into the very shadow of death, touching the spirit of the one who slumbers there. Lead thy poor companion back from the shadow of death and life will once again be his. If, however, thy companion's strength of will is not strong enough to make the return journey, the backlash from this failed miracle will turn his body to ashes. – from The Ancient Liturgy of Truth (Ultima III)

Trivia[edit]
- In the NES-port of Ultima III, the spell appears to be called Recal as well as Raise.
