Explosion is one of the stronger attack spells available, but also has utility outside of combat.

Spell Description[edit]

The Fireball spell may be a good weapon against weaker foes, but the stronger ones are not as susceptible to it. But as foes become stronger, there also comes available the more potent attack spells, like this one. Explosion sends out a regular fireball, but this is deceptive. Upon contact it explodes with the force of a powder keg, causing massive destruction in its direct surroundings. This spell is not only good for killing tougher foes, but also to blast through doors and other obstacles.

Note that the Ultima VII Part Two version of this spell uses blue fire, instead of the regular red-yellow fire, but otherwise acts the same.

Lore[edit]

“	Creates a powerful explosion, injuring those caught in its blast. – from Compendium (Ultima VI)

“	This spell creates a ball of flame that rushes toward the mage’s intended target and explodes. – from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)

“	This spell sends a large sphere of blue flame that explodes on contact at a designated target. – from Beyond the Serpent Pillars (Ultima VII Part Two)

Trivia[edit]

In the C64-port of Ultima VI, the spell is essential to access the pirate treasure, as the port omitted powder kegs.
