Circle: 4th

Mark is a spell that facilitates teleportation in combination with the Recall spell and the eight Virtue Stones.

Trivia[edit]

Casting this spell on one of the eight Virtue Stones marks it with the location where the spell was cast – although the stone gives no indication of where this location actually is. If the Recall spell is later used on the same stone, the caster is teleported to the place where it was marked without any delay. Thus these two spells can make travel through Britannia a lot easier and faster than by conventional means.

Lore[edit]

This spell creates a magical (but invisible) "mark" on any of eight specific colored stones. The Fourth Circle spell Recall can then be cast on that stone.

Trivia[edit]

  • Candice in the Royal Museum gives more detail than the manual on using the spell.
  • This spell is the only means of instantaneous travel in Ultima VII, after the moongates stop working.
  • The Virtue Stones are all already pre-marked for the Shrines. The two exceptions are the white stone, which is linked to Lord British’s castle, and the black stone, which is linked to Britain.
  • This spell cannot be cast while standing on the magic carpet, as this confuses the game engine. That is because it saves the ground tile on which the Avatar stands.
