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 50 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. Failure to summon a second dust devil may lead to the first dust devil to slip out of your control and dissolve. 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.

It was shown that fa.ri.of.ar and fa.ri.de.ar bear some relevance in the offensive and defensive capabilities of the devils. This research was done some time ago and it is doubted by many that this is still the case.

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

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.

Example

> perform dust devil
You find it more difficult to perform dust devil because you are a creator.  However, this is mitigated by the fact that
you are a creator.
You raise your hands, and swirl them about.
You speak the holy word of Fish.
You summon a dust devil.
Use "order" to command it.
The wind picks up a bit and starts swirling.  Dust and debris in the area come together to form an unbelievably large
whirlwind of leaves.
