Fountain

Finding a fountain can be a savior of a party striving to survive in the dark depths of a dungeon. They can have different effects; some of them beneficial, some of them unpleasant. Unfortunately you don't know what kind it is without drinking.

In Ultima III, fountains could have four effects:
 * "Ah! That's nice!" - Cure poison
 * "How wonderful!" - Heal all damage
 * "Yuck Horrible!" - Poison
 * "Argh! Blah! Yuk!" - 25hp of damage

In Ultima IV, fountains could have five effects:
 * "Ahh-Refreshing!" - Heal all damage
 * "Hmm--Delicious!" - Cure poison
 * "Bleck--Nasty!" - Acid deals 100hp damage
 * "Argh-Choke-Gasp!" - Poison
 * "Hmm--No Effect!" - Merely water or no change caused by it's normal effect

In Ultima V, fountains could have three effects:
 * "Healed!" - Heal all damage
 * "Bad taste." - Random damage
 * "Poisoned!" - Poison

During Ultima V they were only found in the dungeons Wrong, Covetous and Deceit. After that age, magic fountains became rare and were seldom found.

In Ultima Underworld, a healing fountain could be found in each of the three first levels of the Abyss.
