Mana arrow

Mana arrows are created by infusing a bit of a caster's mana into normal arrows.

Description[edit]

The results of this investment are amazing. A mana arrow is much more destructive than normal arrows and always hits the against the enemy's vulnerability. Additionally, it is capable of breaking magic barriers, which is especially useful against slasher daemons, who stay outside of the ranger of magical melee weapons. The only danger is, that the caster becomes depleted of mana in the heat of battle.

Effectiveness of the Ammunition[edit]

A mana arrow causes 45 points of damage, hitting the target's vulnerability, and requires 10 mana to use.

Lore[edit]

Through training, a warrior can master the four forms of attack and, in so doing, improve his distance, accuracy, and damage. To acquire a new form of attack, a warrior must bring nimble fingers, a good eye and gold to a suitably skilled master. As a warrior gains strength, he can begin to train with the larger bows which inflict greater damage.
– from Journal (Ultima IX)

Trivia[edit]

  • These arrows only exist in Ultima IX after learning the fourth bow technique from Iolo.[1]
