Blink
Ultima III Name: Lib Rec Class: prayers Mana: 30 Command: G Ultima II Name: Blink Class: sorcery Ultima I Name: Blink Incantation: Ducis-Educo

The Sosarian arcane spell Blink, which in Ultima III became the divine spell Lib Rec, allows the caster to teleport to a random location within a dungeon or tower level.

Description

This spell is useful for escaping tight situations or when the way seems to be a dead end. However, since the destination of this teleportation cannot be chosen, the success of this spell is a gamble at best. This spell cannot, however, transport the caster to another dungeon level. For this, other spells are needed. This spell was later superseded by the Britannian spell of the same name, Blink, which allows for teleportation outside of dungeons.

The arcane counterpart is Dag Acron, which allows teleportation on the surface.

Lore

“

This is the most difficult of the spiritual movements. The planar motion allowed here must begin within a dungeon chamber. Lib Rec differs from the two previous supplications in the following way: Instead of the earth allowing thy physical form to pass, now thy form itself shall become translucent. As thou dost fade in one location thou shalt slowly appear in another. To initiate this motion, speak the name of this invocation whilst circling thy staff above thy head. As thou stoppeth the spinning staff so wilt thy journey stop. – from The Ancient Liturgy of Truth (Ultima III)

“	Blink randomly transports you to a new location on the same level. – from The Second Age of Darkness (Ultima II)

“	The ability to be physically transported a short distance while underground. – from The First Age of Darkness (Ultima I)
