Eye of newt (EY) is a reagent used in the arts of Thaumaturgy on Pagan in Ultima VIII.
Uses and History[edit]
Pagan[edit]
Newt eyes are used to invoke properties of mental clarity and knowledge in thaumaturgical spells. Like all reagents unique to this school of magic, they are only available through the sage, Mythran, and appear to be derived from creatures not native to Pagan.
Lore[edit]

Trivia[edit]
- "Eye of newt" is often cited in popular culture as a magical agent, owing to its mention in Shakespeare's Macbeth during the witches famous chant in Act VI, Scene i. (lines 14–15): "Eye of newt, and toe of frog, / Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, / Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, / Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,-- / For a charm of powerful trouble, / Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."[1]
