Circle: linear

Stone is the most simple attack spell available at the time of Ultima IX.

Spell Description[edit]

Casting the spell hurls a magically charged stone at the foe, causing minor damage. Since it has no cost at all for the mage, being a linear spell, it can be repeatedly cast in quick succession in order to pelt the enemy with numerous stones, which will ideally bring death eventually. However, it is less practical against stronger enemies who will not succumb to these attacks before they can launch much more damaging counterattacks against the caster.

Lore[edit]

“ Suitable for stupid, awed creatures, the Stone spell Finds favor with apprentices of equally small impression. Grimwar has adapted this spell to juggle baubles to the delight of peasant girls and to hurl these stones when their swains arrive. In more practical form, Stone draws a rock from the earth and flings it at a target.
