In Golden Sun: the Lost Age

The Tomegathericon was originally located within the Great Gabomba in Kibombo. After being recognized as Kimbombo's Witch Doctor, Akafubu was supposed to be given the Tomegathericon. However Akafubu had rushed out of the statue. Felix and the party, who had helped and accompanied Akafubu, were the only ones left. The Great Gabomba asks Felix to relay a message to Akafubu that he must now earn the magic. Kraden takes advantage and asks if they could earn the magic before the young Witch Doctor. The Great Gabomba allows them to compete for the knowledge.

The Tomegathericon could be gained after gaining the Cyclone Chip and finishing the Gabomba Catacombs. When completed, the party gains the Tomegathericon.

Cultural Allusions

The Tomegathericon is referred to in the Japanese as the Necronomicon. The name originally belonged to a fictional book within the Cthulhu Mythos. Notably, the Necronomicon included spells for summoning the Old Ones: anicent and powerful terrors. Dark Mage's Call Psynergy is similar to this in that it also summons monsters.
