Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

How can I increase Mana?

  • 1 of 5: Intelligence and Karma are directly connected to the amount of Mana available to you for spellcasting.
  • 2 of 5: Intelligence can be chosen as the attribute to raise when you achieve a new level.
  • 3 of 5: Karma will increase or decrease depending upon how you act towards others.  As the Avatar, you are expected to be the embodiment of the Eight Virtues.  You should probably live up to those expectations.
  • 4 of 5: Your Karma score is the way the game tracks your adherence to the Virtues.  Perform good deeds and behave honorably, and your Karma will increase.  Doing something against the virtues, such as killing people unnecessarily, will lower your Karma.
  • 5 of 5: Special sounds can be heard when your Mana is being effected by your actions.  A different sound plays for good deeds as well as bad ones.
