The Book of Amber Runes

The Book of Amber Runes comes with Ultima III. It is 18 pages long. In-game, the Druid Selzhanik, mage of the Cult of Runes is the author of the book. In real-life, Margaret Ellen Weigers and Roe R. Adams have written the book.

The book is written from an in-game perspective, and is presented as a manuscript given to the player by the Cult of Runes. Numerous full page illustrations accompany the spells, and it presents the intricate rituals required for casting magical spells in the game. These rituals have little meaning for the game itself and just are there to show the difficulties of spellcasting in general. The Book also give information about the Cult of Runes.
