Noxum
Ultima III Class: sorcery Incantation: Noxum Menton Lanu Flama Mana: 50 Command: K

Noxum is a powerful attack spell which hurls a fireball at the magician's enemy.

Spell Description

The arcane spell Noxum is a stronger version of the spell Fulgar. Instead of only one fireball, this spell throws a fireball against each foe visible. This of course makes it much more useful than the simple Fulgar-spell, but also more taxing on the mage. If even more firepower is needed, then the spell Dag Mentar should be used.

Lore

“

This spell is the first of the multi-pronged attacks, and can be of great aid when thou art attacked by a large band of formidable foes. When the two moons of Sosaria are new, travel to the entrance of the dungeon of fire. Gather some of the volcanic ash which is abundant there. On the same night, mix this with herbs of cinnamon and ginseng in equal proportion. The use of this magical mixture requires that thou speak the Rune of Noxum before hurling the ashen mix toward thine enemies: NOXUM MENTON LANU FLAMA As thou dost, it will catch flame and rush at thy foes, thwarting each with a devastating blow. – from The Book of Amber Runes (Ultima III)
