The Magic Storm (or Lightning Storm) is a highly destructive attack spell.

Spell Description[edit]

When Magic Storm is cast, it summons a storm which strikes the mage's enemies with lightning bolts, injuring them in the process, if not killing them outright. One disadvantage is that the storm takes time to gather, so its effects are not instantaneous.

In Ultima IX, the spell is called Lightning Storm and rapidly summons a small thunderstorm to bombard the caster's foes. Unlike Magic Storm, the spell is very selective and attacks enemies in a smaller area.

Lore[edit]

This spell summons a swirling storm that will randomly attack the enemies of the mage with powerful bolts of lightning.

From the elemental plane of air roils the breath of the Titan of Air. In opening this portal to his realm, the caster brings forth his angry reply. Into a swirl at the fingertips of the mage flies the energy of a thousand storms. On invocation, he bursts this blight upon his enemies whose screams drown in the cascade of thunderclaps. They who survive forget neither the magic that opens the portal nor the blessings that keep it closed.
