Lore

“

In the loosest form, magic spells are a harvesting and concentration of the energies of the ether through the person of the mage. Like a focal lens, he attracts these energies to himself and thence expends them outward through the triumvirate of mental exercise, invocation, and placement of objects. These three elements are broken into a complex swirl of untenable mathematics, alchemy, and structured language, the mastery of which consumes the better years of a mage's life. During your travels, you may acquire magic through scroll or spoken word. You can cast the spell from a scroll immediately at no cost. However, the energy of binding within the scroll is released, and the spell is thence lost. Should you desire to retain the spell forever, you must inscribe it into your spellbook with the Ritual of Binding, which cannot be performed for the spell until its Circle of Magic is opened to you. – from Spellbook (Ultima IX)
