during the events of _Tales of Symphonia_ where Sheena is making the pacts
with the Summon Spirits they all talk about already having a vow with the
Hero, Mithos (with the exception to Volt)

I am up to breaking out of Welgaia and have learned that Mithos is

> Lord Yggdrasil, who's real name is Mithos Yggdrasil

now given the above and how Sylvarant and Tethe'alla work i could assume that
Mithos's vow is something along the lines of

> keeping the world split in 2 and/or to protect Martel from the Great Seed

however when Sheena went to make a pact with Volt, Volt said that Mithos broke
his vow and this lead Volt to lose faith in people and not want to make a pact
again.

Now Sheen's vow has changed over the course of the game so they don't all have
to have the same vow, however all the spirits but Volt have not nullified
their pact with Mithos so one would suspect that their vow is vastly different
to Volt's

So what was Mithos's vow(s) to the Summon Spirits? particularly the one with
Volt which was broken

What was Mithos's vow(s) to the Summon Spirits?


It was a promise that he would restore the Great Seed to the world so that it
could grow again, thereby restoring mana to the land. Instead, Mithos took it
to Derris-Kharlan in order to revive and protect his dead sister, thereby
breaking his pact with the Summon Spirits.

The pact that Mithos made with Volt was not one of a promise, Mithos's pact
with Volt was to use his power. Because of how Mithos acted after gaining the
use of Volt's power via the pact formed, Volt became angry at the misuse of
his power. This is similar to how Lloyd's group uses Volt's power to energize
the Rheairds.

The other Summon Spirits are able to communicate with Mithos with forming the
pact, and didn't accept a "use my power to do whatever you want" pact - he had
to be more specific. The only reason Lloyd's party was able to communicate
with Volt was the addition of Raine.

Since Mithos technically didn't do anything but use Volt, he didn't break a
vow.
