Death Vortex is a powerful attack spell.

Spell Description

This spell creates a swirling, black vortex of death. First the vortex will move to the point designated by the mage; it will then repeatedly attack its victim until it is exhausted or the unfortunate soul is dead. Then it will move on to the caster’s other enemies. However, the vortex is totally harmless to the caster’s party. Thus, casting it on oneself will create a zone of death around the caster without any side effects.

Energy Mist is a lesser version of this spell.

Lore

“	This spell creates a swirling black vortex at the point the mage designates, which will thereafter move at random. Everyone within this vortex will be continuously struck by lightning. – from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)

“

Lord British’s advisor, Nystul, has chosen to concentrate on his ability to aid in the defense of our noble monarch. He once described to me what he considers to be the greatest application for the Eighth Circle spell, Death Vortex. Cast the spell on oneself, not on an opponent. Though he never revealed how, he did explain that this would greatly increase the spell’s duration, and would have no ill effects upon the caster or his comrades. – from Key to the Black Gate (Ultima VII)

“	This spell calls forth a swirling mist of black death that will follow its target until that target falls to the ground dead or the spell duration passes. – from Beyond the Serpent Pillars (Ultima VII Part Two)
