Spell Description[edit]

Casting Create Reagents it causes one unit of a reagent appear at the caster's feet. What kind of reagents appear is determined by the type of ground on which the mage is standing:

Lore[edit]

“ Even the disciplined mage can be caught unprepared. The Create Reagents spell allows the caster to focus his mana into the ground beneath his feet where a single reagent known to him may be extracted. A casting mage is limited to the reagents that he knows by sight, sound, and taste. The produced reagent varies with the terrain on which the mage performs the casting.
– from Spellbook (Ultima IX)


Trivia[edit]

  • In the 1.19f version of Ultima IX, this spell does not function correctly. Effectively, every time this spell is cast, a black pearl rises from the ground irrespective of the terrain. In addition, the game often crashes immediately following this event.
  • The spell works most reliably just outside Castle Britannia. Maybe it was the only location where it was tested before the game release.
  • This is one of the four bugged spells in Ultima 9. Incidentally, these four spells belong to four different circles and they are associated to four different elements: Create Reagents (1st circle, Earth), Day (4th circle, Fire), Levitate (5th circle, Air), Underwater Breath (6th circle, Water),
