All spells are cast by invoking words of power. These words have to be spoken when activating the spell, in order to power of the forces being utilized. The correct combination of the syllables, combined with the proper reagents, is what defines the spell. Following are the known words of power, and their meanings.

There are 26 pseudo-Latin morphemes echoed by players when spells are cast. Tier 1 spells have one morpheme, Tier 2 spells have two morphemes, and Tier 3 spells have three morphemes. For example, Healing Touch is Reno, Healing Ray is Asen Reno, and Healing Burst is Wast Gaus Reno

Trivia[edit]

  • The remainder of the Words of Power were revealed during the Postmortem (exact link needed) for Release 26. A link to this specific information is needed to verify the above listing for accuracy.
  • Spells in the Ultima series have always used words of power. In Ultima I and Ultima III, these invocations were Latin-like, however since Ultima IV the words of power were standardized and codified.
