Summon Daemon is a Sorcery spell that a magician can use to summon a daemon against an enemy.

Spell Description[edit]

With this spell a Sorcerer can call on a daemon for usage against a foe. The daemon will ask who is to be attacked and then go to battle that individual. The daemon is very tough and the victim has little chance of surviving this confrontation. The caveat of this spell is that once it has killed the caster’s opponent, it will remain hostile and attack that caster. Also, if no victim is near, the enraged daemon will immediately attack the caster. Casting Banish Daemon will then eliminate this threat.

Lore[edit]

This ritual of binding will summon a daemon to attack one foe of the Sorcerer’s designation. The dangerous nature of this spell lies in the fact that if no victim is specified as soon as the creature appears, the daemon will attack the Sorcerer.

Trivia[edit]

  • This is one of the four spells with which Malchir tests the Avatar, though he safely banishes the summoned daemon right away.
