This article is about the Death spell from Ultima IX. For other uses, see Death (Disambiguation).
The Death spell is a potent but dangerous way of disposing of foes in Ultima IX.
Spell Description[edit]
The Death spell aims to literally drag its target to an early grave through a lethal, ethereal force. The target, if it cannot resist, is dragged into the realm of the dead. This incantation, however, differs significantly from the Kill spells previously used by spellcasters: only less hardy creatures are affected, and the half the maximum health is drained from the mage, potentially resulting in a fatal casting, should significant injuries have been previously sustained.
Lore[edit]
| “ | Beware the Death spell, as it claims a lesser life force and dissipates it into the earth. Do not take its function lightly. The magic is simple and direct, yet casting is reserved for experienced mages, for it is only through experience that we learn the value of the blessing dubbed Life. Rare is the mage who can cast Death. Rarer still is the mage who is not affected by its casting. |

Trivia[edit]
- The limitations on the spell, as described above, essentially make it useless. Only the weakest of opponents will succumb to it.
