Explosion is the most powerful missile spell in Sorcery.
Spell Description[edit]
This is the more advanced version of the Flame Bolt spell. Explosion also hurls an fireball at the enemy. However, instead of just impacting, it explodes violently upon contact, causing massive injuries to the enemy and anyone nearby. This is the strongest distance attack available to Sorcerers and it is difficult to create, especially since only the staff can hold multiple charges of this powerful spell.
Lore[edit]
| “ | This is much like the Flame Bolt spell, but with considerably larger and more devastating effects. – from The Chronicle of Pagan (Ultima VIII)

| “ | A bolt of flame is released when the Sorcerer invokes this spell, shooting forth, unerringly to the object of the Sorcerer’s ire. Upon reaching its destination, it explodes, causing heavy damage to all things caught within its range. – from Explosion (Ultima VIII)

Trivia[edit]
- This is one of the four spells on which Malchir tests the Avatar. He actually lends the Avatar a staff for that reason due to the high requirements of the spell.
