Mana Breath is a spell that allows the mage to breath underwater.
Spell Description[edit]
There are times when a mage may want to swim underwater, for a longer time than lung capacities naturally allow. Mana Breath alleviates this problem, the same way a blue potion would. While useful, the spell taxes mana so one must be wary of the danger of running out of mana while underwater.
Lore[edit]
| “ | On first examination, Mana Breath seems a simple cast, for it merely converts water energy into breathable air which allows safe passage beneath water. However, Mana Breath is the only spell of the Eight Circles that can be cast without firm station for one’s feet. As such, the alchemic exchanges are subtle and continue to elude me. Arduin offered his assistance on the problem, and it was three days before he solved, to his chagrin, the reactions of baking yeast. We did not converse for a week thence. Be cautious in your usage, as each watery step out must be matched by a step back to shore. |

Trivia[edit]
- This is the only spell in Ultima IX that can be cast underwater, although it is buggy.
- 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),
- The blue potion that has the same effect as Mana Breath is called “underwater breathing”.
- Underwater breathing is also said to be one of the powers of the tempests of Pagan.
