Rel Xen Bet is a spell that ostensibly turns the target (any creature, friend or foe, except the caster) into a giant rat, but in practice it removes the target from the battlefield and conjures an unrelated rat to take their place. The rat cannot be controlled by the player, nor will any party member take damage if it is attacked. (Note that this behavior is subtly different from the effects of a purple potion.)
Spell Description[edit]
Rel Xen Bet was created by the hapless Grendel, after his previous attempt at a more potent enchantment went awry. The alchemist was originally formulating a spell called Vas Rel Xen Bet, which was intended to transmogrify a group of foes into rats. In an ironic twist of misfortune, however, the enterprise backfired and permanently metamorphosed Grendel himself into one of the gnawing creatures – albeit leaving his mental faculties unaffected – whereupon he was able to perfect the lesser form of the incantation.[1] Remaining an ill-fated experiment, the abortive Vas Rel Xen Bet’s required reagents are not known.
- Rel Xen Bet is one of the few spells not listed in the official Ultima V game documentation; Grendel provides the details in-game.
