Summon Pyros

The Summon Pyros ritual summons the powerful Titan Pyros from his domain to do the caster's bidding in Ultima IX. However, Pyros is a raging and powerful creature. Thus, what restraints are placed on him must also be powerful or he might rain destruction on the plane to which he is summoned.

Description

To summon Pyros, the caster needs to put a daemon skull, spider silk, sulfurous ash and a piece of blackrock into a specially prepared pentagram made of blood. Then, a red candle is placed into the middle and ignited. The Avatar once performed this ritual to gain entrance to the Abyss, but it was not explained how Pyros was then banished.

The ritual is taught by Malchir in the Spirit Realm.

Lore

“	Summon Pyros is but a rumor, a lyric on the tongues of bards, of a terrible ritual to unfetter the Titan of Fire from his chains and unleash him upon the Earth. If, by chance, you should learn of it, do not forget the lyric's coda: So summon Pyros, the Lord of Fire, and bind him to your soul. Though he does your will, will he return you to his hole. – from Spellbook (Ultima IX)

Trivia

• In the Bob White plot, the summoning never happens, as the video was part of the plot where the Guardian shows Lord British false images, implying that the Avatar had freed Pyros to destroy Pagan.
• This ritual is mentioned in the spellbook, which is written by a Britannian mage. It is not clear how the mage would know of this ritual.
• The pentagram finally used to summon Pyros in the Isle of the Avatar does not actually need the Avatar to carry a piece of blackrock for the ritual to work for it lies over blackrock floor.
