Summon is a spell that calls forth a powerful creature to aid the caster.

Spell Description[edit]

Similar to Conjure, this spell will call forth a single creature to fight for the mage, but nevertheless, a much more powerful creature than the sum of what is mustered by Conjure. However, it also has to be used with much caution. A caveat to the power of this spell is that once the caster's enemies have been eliminated, the creature will turn against the spellcaster.

History[edit]

Originally, casting this spell, devised in Ultima V, summoned a daemon to destroy the enemies of the spellcaster. However, in Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two, the spell summoned other powerful creatures like dragons. The reason for the change is unknown. By Ultima IX, the spell once more focused on specifically calling forth a daemon.

Variants[edit]

Ultima Underworld[edit]

The Summon Monster spell in Ultima Underworld (called Monster Summoning in the Ultima Underworld Clue Book) summons a random monster (or sometimes an NPC) that appears in front of the caster. This creature is indifferent to the caster, neither allied nor hostile.

Ultima Underworld II[edit]

Ultima Underworld II doesn't have the Summon Monster spell as it's predecessor did, but has a new spell, Summon Daemon which always summons a hostile demon to appear in front of the caster.

Lore[edit]

“

Kal Xen Corp resembles Kal Xen, but its summons has far greater complexity and power. Kal Xen Corp calls forth a daemon. But only an experienced wizard is able to devote the concentration needed to bind the daemon’s allegiance and prevent it from turning on his party. Then, although the daemon cannot use its own powers of possession, it can hurl great balls of fire across long distance to smite foes.
Mandrake root, gathered as near as possible to an entrance to dungeons, pits, and other vile holes, is the base of this spell. Add garlic, blood moss and the strongest spider silk. Mix the lot together letting the moisture of the root act as a binding. Now shape the mixture into the form of the winged daemon. Raise the icon to the sky, into this spell and hear it calling its own.

– from The Book of Lore (Ultima V)

“	Calls forth a daemon from the underworld who may assist you in combat. – from Compendium (Ultima VI)

“	This spell summons a powerful creature that will fight for the mage and his party. – from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)

“	This spell summons a daemon whose power depends on the casting skill of the summoner. Unfortunately, being a daemon, it will be hostile... – from Gems of Enlightenment (Ultima Underworld II)

“	This spell brings into being a mighty, but never pre-determined, creature to side with the caster against any foes. – from Beyond the Serpent Pillars (Ultima VII Part Two)

“

Among the more volatile control-forms of Fire, the Summon Demon invocation calls forth a Creature of the Pit to do the bidding of the caster. The key elements are sufficient blood moss to control the beast and a clear voice during the summoning. For a Demon can sense tremors in human disposition and has eternity to prey on it. Alas, in the joy of casting such a powerful spell, many a mage has forgotten that a summoned demon will turn on the caster when his mana runs dry and will feather the Pit with his robes.

– from Spellbook (Ultima IX)

Trivia[edit]

The spell was omitted from the SNES-port of Ultima VI.
The equivalent to this spell in Pagan would be the Sorcery spell Summon Daemon.
Casting Summon Monster in Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss will sometimes spawn creatures that were written in the game's code but don't otherwise appear in the game. See NPCs cut from Ultima Underworld for details.
