Summons a whirlwind to fight on your behalf.

Description

Performing this ritual causes a whirlwind to form, its composition depending on where it is summoned (There are at least 350 different types, ranging from leaves, to cat fur, to metal fragments, to pure faith, to the good old dust devils). After recent changes, the number of devils you can summon has been capped on two. Trying to summon a second dust devil and failing may lead to the first dust devil slipping out of your control and dissipating. Dust devils will join you in combat as they will 'assist', and can also be "order"ed to attack. Doing so will cause you to become involved in the combat as well.

Dust devils reduce the amount of xp you will get from kills, though this may be countered by the ability you will have to kill things tougher and in less time. Dust devils are unable to protect and mediocre at dealing damage, so their use is limited.

The progression of the sizes is: Tiny, small, average, large, huge, gigantic, colossal, enormous, humongous, and unbelievably large.

You can refer to a specific priest's dust devil by prefacing "devil" (or "whirlwind", "summon", "minion", "creature") with the priest's name.

Help File

This ritual summons a dust devil to follow your orders. It will attack if ordered, though not the servants of gods. It will not protect or defend the priest summoning it. A priest can only control two dust devils at a time. Performing this ritual requires use of a holy symbol consecrated to your deity.

Forms of dust devils

As the name suggests: most of the time a dust devil will consist of, erm, dust. However, there are more than 100 different forms, and the following list is an attempt to record them - just in case you fancy a specific looking one, go to the location specified (some may be found in various locations. You might have to perform dust devil more than once on that location, as only every 2nd or 3rd performance of this ritual produces a "non-dust" dust devil.
