Volcanic ash (VA) is a reagent that is in use on Pagan.

Uses and History[edit]

Pagan[edit]

This ash is produced during a volcanic eruption. It is not to be confused with sulfurous ash as found in Britannia. The Sorcerers do use the volcanic ash as a reagent to invoke fire within one of their spells. Due to the fact that Morgaelin was a massive volcano, it is rich in deposits of ash that can be harvested without much hassle for spellcasting purposes.

Lore[edit]

“ The refuse of the volcano has the property of creating the initial spark of Fire.


“ The simplest reagent is volcanic ash. Its purpose in Sorcery is to represent the spark that brings flame.
– from Vardion (Ultima VIII)


Trivia[edit]

  • Volcanic ash can have many different hues. The one on Pagan is almost black, while most earth volcanoes produce a very light-grey ash.
