The Vanish spell causes objects to fade into the Void.

Spell Description[edit]

Developed by the mage Temme, this spell at first sight apparently destroys one object in the caster's possession. However, this is incorrect. Casting it on a selected, not too-complex item (namely nothing plot relevant) causes the item to only vanish into the Void, where it is safely stored. This way, the mage can carry around heavy objects without being concerned about the weight. Reappear retrieves the object from storage.

However, before Ultima VI, the Reappear spell was not known due to an oversight by Temme; therefore, in Ultima V, objects subjected to the Vanish spell would be lost forever.

Lore[edit]

Makes simple objects disappear from this world.

Trivia[edit]

  • Vanish is one of the few spells not listed in the official Ultima V game documentation. Temme provides the details in-game.
  • In Ultima V, the spell will make things disappear if and only if they can be moved by pushing. For example, you can vanish plants, barrels, and chairs, but not walls, enemies, or people.
  • The spell is useful in Ultima VI to haul heavy things like powder kegs.
  • The spell was omitted from the C64-port of Ultima VI.
