Executioner's Hood

Executioner's Hood (EX) is a reagent gained from a mushroom that is in use on Pagan. It's name is program as its use as a reagent.

Pagan
For the magic school of Necromancy, Executioner's Hood was used in spells that invoked death. Despite Vividos describing it as a plant with leafs, it actually is a black mushroom where the top is formed like the hood of an executioner. When the Avatar had to find these mushrooms as part of a test in Ultima VIII, they were found east of the entrance to the Cemetery, guarded by changelings.

Trivia

 * The name of the mushroom is self-expendatory, as seen above. A real-left executioner's hood can been seen of the right. The interesting thing is however, that in Pagan these masks don't seem to be in use. Shaana is not seen wearing one (but one does appear on the Tapestry of Ages), creating a strange inconsistency.


 * There also is an item in the Upper Catacombs that is "Sliced Executioner's Hood". It's what the name says, but doesn't serve any use and is most likely a remnant from cut out content.
