Repel Undead is a spell to chase away to undead of Britannia.

Spell Description

The undead of Britannia pose a real menace, that may be displaced with Repel Undead. A less drastic combat spell, it causes all nearby undead to flee rather than destroying them outright or doing any damage. Accordingly, its expense on resources is also mild.

In the Age of Darkness, the spell Pontori outright destroyed the undead. The same result would be later achieved with the runic spell Smite Undead. On Pagan, the spell Grant Peace also deals with the undead quickly.

Lore

“

Ever since the coming of the evil wizard Mondain and his hellish offspring, the lands of Britannia have been plagued by the return of creatures already slain. These once-dead beings take many forms, the most common being the animated skeletons of orcs and goblins, or the ghoulish forms of flesh-eating corpses that have been summoned from the land of shades to wreak havoc on the living. These apparitions are cowed by the light of righteousness and fight as warriors in a trance. Nonetheless, they are hard to kill and never tire in battle and thus may jeopardize even a seasoned band of adventurers. Each mage knows a form of turning them aside when encountered, but the components of such magics are personal and depend on the spellcaster. You must use your knowledge of the properties of magical reagents to determine which two will lend force to your enchantment of Undead turning. When you have found the proper mixture, cast it at your foes while chanting the name of what the creatures once were when they trod the earth in life. – from The Book of Mystic Wisdom (Ultima IV)

“

The powers of evil revel in their ability to command the uneasy dead. Rotted corpses and corrupted spirits, given motion and a semblance of life, are set on the mindless destruction of everything good. Such phantoms are not living but are merely animated. They act mindlessly, unaware of their own horrible state. By negating their armour of mindlessness, An Xen Corp causes most risen dead to flee in lurching terror. An Xen Corp is not a difficult spell, especially for casters of good intellect. Nor is its mixture difficult: ordinary amounts of common garlic and sulphurous ash must be mixed while pronouncing words of reverence for life and beauty. – from The Book of Lore (Ultima V)

“	Causes all undead in the caster’s field of vision to flee. – from Compendium (Ultima VI)

“	This spell can cause numerous undead in front of the caster to attempt to flee (or attack, if backed into a corner). It can affect one undead, plus undead whose hit points do not exceed 10 times the caster’s casting skill. Already-fleeing creatures take a number of points of damage equal to the caster’s casting skill. – from A Safe Passage Through Britannia (Ultima Underworld II)

Trivia

• The spell was omitted from the C64-port of Ultima VI.
