Magic Axe

Magic axes are axes that have been enchanted to produce desirable effects in combat, and may bear magics which enhance damage done to a foe or allow thrown axes to magically return to their wielder. Such weapons may be found in Ultima III,  IV,  V,  VII, Ultima Underworld II and  VII Part Two.

History
Simple magical axes could first be found for sale in Minoc during the quest of the Avatar. These powerful weapons were imbued with additional strength through their enchantments and were also capable of returning to a hand that threw them, making them potent devices for use against distant foes. During the reign of Blackthorn, the standard magical throwing axe ranked amongst the best armaments a warrior could wield in battle.

Magic axes were listed in Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two as having a damage 8 and a reach of 16.

+2 Axes +4 Axes
In archaic Sosaria, during Ultima III, specially enhanced axes could be procured from the mystic city of Dawn, where the weaponsmith offered a "+2 axe" and "+4 axe". These enchanted axes were not throwable weapons, however.
