Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Light Sources
1 of 5: Lanterns and torches are very useful during the first parts of the game, especially in the dungeons. They can be held even when equipped with a sword and shield.
2 of 5: Click on a working torch to light it, or try casting the Ignite Spell. If it doesn't light, it is spent.
3 of 5: Also click on a lantern to turn it on. If nothing happens, it is out of oil and can be refilled by using an oil flask on it.
4 of 5: The spells Light and Day are much more effective than lanterns and torches.
5 of 5: Wear the Helm of Radiance to add the best level of lower light.
