Barrier of Life

The Barrier of Life is a ritual that only appears in Ultima IX.

This ritual creates a barrier of pure energy that essentially prevents anything from escaping or entering it, once it is powered up. Not even the mighty Armageddon ritual can break the Barrier of Life. It is actually unknown if there is a way to again safely de-activate it.

To build the barrier, the mage first has to place the Sigils of virtue in a circle around the area that is to be isolated, then stand in the middle of the circle and chant the spell ""SANCT VAS GRAV IN MANI AN CORP"" in order to errect the barrier.

Taught by the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom on the Isle of the Avatar.

 * In the Bob White Plot, the Runes would have acted in a similar way to protect Skara Brae from Armageddon.
