Ultima Saga

Quote

 * A coil of rope landed at the bottom of the shaft. Wisps of foul-smelling smoke rose from Annon's fingers when he rubbed them together. There was no time left, so Annon made time with the blood-moss powder and mandrake pellets.


 * "Rel Tym!


 * The first spell Annon cast quieted the noise within the boy's mind. The second spell made the room unnaturally quiet instead. Squirt looked at the open door of the bolthole: He'd never seen a rope, or anything else, move so slowly. It made no noise when it struck the wall.


 * "What did you do?" he demanded.

- from The Forge of Virtue (Ultima Saga)

Trivia

 * A solemn druid named Calumny, whom the Stranger met in Yew during Ultima IV, says he invented the Quickness spell, and gives the hero a more efficient reagent mixture to cast it - it only requires one part bloodmoss instead of two.
