Armageddon (Ritual)

The Ritual of Armageddon in Ultima IX is a ritual which essentially is the same as the Armageddon spell from previous entries to the Ultima series, with the same horrible consequences: the end of all life on the planet. Once this power of destruction is turned loose, it will burn off the surface of the entire world, leaving nothing apart from dead rock. Only the Barrier of Life can withstand its effects.

To start the end of the world, three pieces of blackrock have to be put into the middle of a magical circle, then the words "VAS KAL AN MANI IN CORP HUR TYM" have to be spoken in order to destroy the world itself. Only the Barrier of Life can stop its effects.

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

Trivia

 * In the Bob White Plot, the Runes would have acted in a similar way to protect Skara Brae from Armageddon.
 * Also in the original plot, the ritual would have indeed destroyed the planet.
