Speaking to the dead is possible with the Seance spell. The spell appears in Ultima VI but does not serve any practical purpose until Ultima VII.
Spell Description[edit]
There are cases where a person exists even after death. However, those spirits that walk through the land usually have no way to communicate with the living. However, with Seance, speaking to these spirits for a duration of several hours becomes possible and it can be a fascinating experience! While in the Age of Enlightenment the spell only allowed rudimentary communication, it was later refined to allow normal conversation with ghosts of the departed.
Lore[edit]
“ | Lets the caster speak with the dead as though they still lived. – from Compendium (Ultima VI)
|

“ | This spell allows the mage to speak to all recently dead ghosts, until sunrise. If one were travelling to Skara Brae, the wise mage would have a healthy supply of appropriate reagents to cast this spell many times. – from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)

Trivia[edit]
- In Ultima VI the spell is not needed, since the Quenton quest is unsolvable.
- The spell was omitted from the C64-port of Ultima VI.
- Without this spell, it is impossible to master plot-critical Skara Brae in Ultima VII.
