Mentar

Mentar
Ultima III Class: sorcery Incantation: Zanbar Leechen Cerdi Mentar Mana: 35 Command: H

The sorcery spell Mentar available in Ultima III is a more potent attack spell whose destructive power scales with the caster’s Intelligence. It can be seen as the successor to similar, weaker spells like Mittar.

Description

Once this spell is cast, like in Mittar a magic missile is flung against the foe. The key difference is that this spell enhances the damage of the magic missile based on the caster's Intelligence. This makes it more destructive than its weaker counterpart, Mittar.

Lore

“

In order to cast this most terrifying spell, an oak gall must be collected of the sort most often found on ancient trees in dark and gloomy forest folds. Dip the oak gall in molten wax while chanting this verse from the tome of Mantar: ZANBAR LEECHEN CERDI MENTAR Then, when battle is upon thee, crush the oak gall within thy hand. As the gall collapses, a blue ball of screaming horror will fly toward thine enemy. It will invade his mind, and irreparably corrupt his mental process, in direct proportion to thine own intelligence. – from The Book of Amber Runes (Ultima III)
