Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme I#44 revealed the Cyttorak-related spells were some of the first ones the Ancient One taught Doctor Strange. It's seems likely Mordo learned the Clamp of Cyttorak under Yao's tutelage.
To date there have been many spells attributed to Cyttorak: the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, the Crimson Circle of Cyttorak, the Scarlet Screen of Cyttorak, Scarlet Sphere of Cyttorak, and the Screaming Masks of Cyttorak.
