 Aerial Servant | |
| Only appearance: | Ultima VIII |
These small, whirlwind-like spirits are called by theurgists to do their bidding. They are totally harmless and incapable of combat, nor can they be injured. They are only useful for transporting or manipulating objects. However, aerial servants summoned by Stratos, the Titan of Air, are an exception and capable of attacking and killing beings.
Aerial servants can be called with the theurgist magic of the same name, to do the caster's bidding.
Lore[]
Many people who die before they finish important tasks become spirits bound to the welfare of others. Unlike ghosts, for whom the Titans have no use, aerial servants function as messengers and assistants to Stratos. Moreover, aerial servants do not possess the same dark gray appearance of their counterparts, the ghosts, seeming instead to be made up of simple currents of air.
Aerial servants do not attack others, whether they are living or otherwise. However, they are usually loyal to the Theurgists who summon them, obeying their commands to the best of their abilities. Some say that aerial servants can affect the objects they touch, temporarily changing the objects into air currents as well. This way, the aerial servant is able to transport otherwise solid objects through the smallest wall chinks and such.
