Ritual of Binding

With the new form of magic in Ultima IX, spells can now be bound into a spellbook with the Ritual of Binding, so that no more reagents are needed. However, only freed spell circles can be bound into the spellbook. The number of freed circles is equal to that of repaired shrines.

To do so, the mage first needs a spellbook. Once this is obtained, a scroll with the desired spell and the appropriate reagents must be placed into the middle of a special binding pentagram. Next, the mage must ignite all candles of the pentagram, and then chant the words of power in order to bind the spell into the book.

Should the reagents be wrong, then both scroll and reagents, are lost.

Taught by Altomar in Britain.

Trivia

 * The spell Transcribe in Ultima VII Part Two essentially works the same, also putting a spell scroll into the spellbook. The difference in, that in Ultima VII Part Two, the spells still consume reagents.
