Ultima: Quest of the Avatar - Spells & Reagents

Spells & Reagents

REAGENTS
Reagents (along with magic points) are used to cast spells for protection, healing, attack, effect, etc. When you start a new game, you will start off with a low amount of the standard 6 reagents.. so, you'll need to get more later on. The two rare reagents, Fungus & Manroot, are a bit harder to find. When purchasing Regeants, the merchant will inform you that he is blind, and asks that you just put the money into his hand. You then select the amount and then give it to him. You MUST give him the correct amount (or more), otherwise it will drop Virtue. Apparently he is incapable of counting out how much you give him...

SPELLS
Here is a list of all the spells in the game. Most of the spells you start off with, while others you have to talk to certain characters to learn them. When someone tells you the reagents to a new spell, you can't use it until you have it scribed in your Magic Book (under the 'Recipe' option in the menu screen). This can be done at Spells Unlimited, which is located in MoonGlow. When you get there, select a spell you want to scribe (learn), then select the proper reagents for that spell. Once scribed, the spell will be listed in the Recipe section of the menu (select 'Other' option, then scroll down for 'Recipe'). All characters have access to the spells after being scribed & are able to cast them as long as they have: A.)Magic Points (MP) required and B.)The proper reagents for the spell. At the request of a few individuals, I have included the gold cost per spell cast, based on the reagents used.

Note 1
Tremor is a rather difficult spell to pick up. You have to talk to 3 certain people in order for you to have the spell scribed. 1st Person - Go to Skara Brae. Enter the town and go directly up, just outside the town walls. Talk to the begger and give him money. He will tell you about a man in black, using Sulfurous Ash (Ash) and speaks of Tremors. ~ Reagent 1 -- Ash. 2nd Person - Go to Paws. Enter the Stables at the Eastern part of town. Go through the door (requires Key) and talk to the stablemaid on the other side. She also tells you about a man in black, speaks of Tremors and looking for BloodMoss. ~ Reagent 2 -- Moss. 3rd Person - Go to Jhelom. Enter the town and go east until you reach the corner of the road going down into the inn. Speak to the Fighter standing right there. Talk to him twice. The second time, he tells you of a man in black, speaks of the earth "splitting asunder" (Tremor), and tells you of Manroot. ~ Reagent 3 -- Manroot.
