The Languages of Magic

Some aspects of magical lore have become fairly well known. One such is the language of magic. This is a

set of twenty-four syllables compiled by a great language scholar after traveling throughout Britannia for more than seven

years. These are all the components of any magic spell yet unknown; but they are little help -- and extremely dangerous --

without knowledge of how to combine them into the phrases that make meaningful incantations.

Following is a list of these powerful syllables, approximations of their meanings, and a guide to their

pronunciation.

The Mixtures of Magic

Reagents are herbs needed for the preparation of magical mixtures. Most are sold in apothecaries; a few are

hard to find and require special effort to obtain. Following is a chart of the magical reagents and the general areas of

proficiency they affect (in parentheses).

Black Pearl (Projection)-- A rare version of the standard white pearl, a black pearl is a forceful reagent in

the creation of kinesthetic magic, that is, projecting objects.

Blood Moss (Movement)-- Fungal growth usually found in deep forests and warm, damp areas; especially

favored as a reagent for its ability to enhance mobility.

Garlic (Warding)-- Ubiquitous and strong-scented reagent, used effectively in warding off evil spirits.

Ginseng (Healing)-- Ancient reagent used extensively in healing.

Mandrake Root (Power)-- Very rare and usually expensive magical herb growing only in swampy areas,

mandrake root is said to bring great power to magic that uses it.

Nightshade (poison, Illusion)-- Rare, poisonous plant that appears only when the moons are in a certain

conjunction. Those who learn its whereabouts and manage to be there in the dead of night when the moons are full can pick

nightshade without danger and benefit from its powerful ability as a reagent to create illusions.

Spider Silk (Binding)-- The magical product of the garden spider and its relatives has no peer in its ability

to bind. As a reagent mixed for magic, spider silk magnifies its binding power many times over.

Sulphurous Ash (Energy)-- Common material left by volcanic action, ash is an excellent source of energy

in magical mixtures.

The Spells

Spells diverge greatly in term of difficulty, and, correspondingly, in terms of danger to the caster. After

years of observation, and experimentation, scholars in magic have classified spells into eight circles of difficulty. Thus,

mages who can command only the simplest spells are considered to be in the first circle.

Full mages’ magical ability is directly related to their intelligence. Bards appear to have half the magical

ability of full mages and fighters rarely have any. Casting spells drains magical powers, limiting how many spells mages

can cast before resting. A spell will drain magical powers in amounts proportional to the spell’s circle of difficulty.

On the facing page, a chart classifies the spells by circle, with a brief indication of each spell’s use, a note

on when it can be used, and an ingredient list. Do not take the ingredient lists to be recipes, as wrong quantities or careless

mixing could have terrible results.

Note that not all spells can be used in all situations. Quite a few spells need far too much time or

concentration to be cast during combat, others feed on the energies present in the battle arena.

Full descriptions of each spell’s nature, use and effects follow. In the following chart, dng./com. signifies

that the spell works in both dungeons and combat.

HINTS

Conversation is integral to ULTIMA V. Only by piecing together clues from the different inhabitants can you complete your

quests. You may ask inhabitants about a number of topics. Often you will need to know what to ask a specific person to

glean interesting information. All inhabitants will talk about their jobs and give you their names, and asking about these will

often help you learn who else to interview and what questions to ask them.

As an example of conversation, you might Talk to Dupre. First you type job. He responds, "I am hunting Gremlins!" Type

hunting and he may respond with an interesting insight. Or Iolo might have suggested that you ask Shamino about his sword. If you have already spoken to Shamino, you would not have known to ask

him that, and must seek him out again. You may be asked questions by some of those you meet. Consider carefully before

responding; your life may depend on it. How you converse with others will determine how willing they will be to share any

new information they have when you next meet them. Do converse with people more than once. Some people you meet may

be willing to become your traveling companion. If you wish them to do so, invite them to join your party.

Press Enter or type bye after an inhabitant's response to conclude a conversation.

Keep a journal of your travels. Keep a list of the clues you pick up; there will be

too many for you to carry in your head.

Thoroughly explore the realm. Exploring each town, castle, keep, and other populated spots will prove to be time well

spent.

SCREEN VIEWS

The party is shown standing on the shore south of the town of Britain. To the east is the castle of Lord British and two of its

outlying villages. A frigate is docked at the harbor to the southwest. A marau-ding band of Ettins, evil two-headed giants,

approaches from the north. In the upper-right window the Z-stats command shows the status of the companion British.

Normally the party members would be listed

in this window. British is a Male Avatar who has attained the second level of experience.He is in Good Health, with 19

Strength, 19 Intelligence, and 23 Dexterity Points. While he currently has 49 Hit Points, he can have a Maximum of 60 Hit

Points. He has earned 156 Experience Points in battle and has 19 Magic Points.

Pressing the key at this point would display the list of armor and weapons he currently carries.

At the top of the left window, the sun is about to set, and the newly risen moon, Trammel, is in its Gibbous Waxing phase.

The Ettins are attacking ! In this close-up view of the battle field, the Ettins are closing in on British from the east and west.

Shamino lies slain, crushed by aboulder. In the upper-right window the names and current conditions of all three

companions

are shown: British has 45 Hit Points and is Poisoned, while Shamino is Dead with 0 Hit Points, and Iolo is in Good

condition with 87 Hit Points. The party has 116 meals' worth of Food, and 150 Gold Crowns. It is the eighth day of the

fourth month of the year 137, and the position of the sun would mark the time as midmorning.
