| − | <b>Runic Symbols</b> have long been used in various [[Ultima]] games both to represent the words used in [[spells]] and as a substitute for the english alphabet. In [[Ultima Online]] they are primarily used for the former purpose and are rarely seen elsewhere.

| − | | + | |
| − | The symbols used to represent Ultima's runes are taken from the ancient Norse alphabet, which also gave them seperate magical meanings <i>(though this author is uncertain as to how closely the games match these)</i>.<br><br>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Runes are usually seen in UO as the casting words of power used in [[Magery]] and [[Necromancy]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *For example, the [[Poison]] spell:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {| border="1" width="20%"
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | |<center>[[image:Rune_I.png]][[image:Rune_N.png]]<br>In Nox<br>Cause Poison</center>
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | |}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *This is, of course, countered with [[Cure]]:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {| border="1" width="20%"
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | |<center>[[image:Rune_A.png]][[image:Rune_N.png]]<br>An Nox<br>Negate Poison</center>
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | |}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Or if the situation demands it, [[Arch Cure]]:

| − | | + | |
| − | {| border="1" width="20%"
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | |<center>[[image:Rune_V.png]][[image:Rune_A.png]][[image:Rune_N.png]]<br>Vas An Nox<br>Great Negate Poison</center>
| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | |}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *A more convoluted demonstration is the [[Armageddon]] spell:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {| border="1" width="60%"
| + | |
| − | |-

| − | |<center>[[image:Rune_V.png]][[image:Rune_K.png]][[image:Rune_A.png]][[image:Rune_M.png]][[image:Rune_I.png]][[image:Rune_C.png]][[image:Rune_H.png]][[image:Rune_T.png]]<br>
| + | |
| − | Vas Kal An Mani In Corp Hur Tym<br>Great Summon Negate Life Cause Death Wind Time</center>

| − | On the back of the [[The Second Age]] handbook, this phrase is written in runic symbols:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <i>The Incan monkey god peered through the leaves of the great book and saw the dawning of a new age - An age whose like has seldom been beheld by man.</i><br><br>
