Fog

Fog
Ultima IX Incantation: An Wis Hur Reagents: GA, NS, SS Circle: 3rd

Fog is a spell that obscures enemies’ vision in combat.

Spell Description

Once being cast, a thick fog fills the surroundings of the caster, confusing anyone caught in the haze. This distraction is perfect to retreat under the cover of the thick fog. Note that this spell constantly drains mana, and should it run out, the fog will dissipate.

Lore

“	This incantation draws water from the soil into a swollen cloud of fog about the caster. In the Crimson War, Muirak the Lame encircled a goblin hoard which, in losing sight of their enemy, nicely thinned their own ranks. A Fog spell drains mana until the magic is released. – from Spellbook (Ultima IX)

Trivia

• This spell tends to break the battle AI of enemies, turning them into sitting ducks. This is, because the programmers had no other idea how to implement the spell but to turn off the AI while the spell is active.^{[Citation needed]}
