Lightning whip

The lightning whip is truly mean weapon, as it can be used to torture people for a long time before death. It appears in Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two.

Description[edit]

A normal whip has a long range, but it is not a very powerful weapon against any kind of foe. This was also known to the fighters of Britannia, and so they decided to get their battle-whips enhanced by magic. Enchanted with electrical magic, the lightning whip more than doubles in sheer power, shocking the enemy with every hit with a strong electric charge. Lightning whips are now somewhat rare these days, having mostly fallen out of use.

Effectiveness of the Weapon[edit]

  • The lightning whips in Ultima VII does 10 points of damage.
  • In Serpent Isle, lightning whips have a damage of "10" and a reach of "3".[1]

Trivia[edit]

  • Due to the generally weaker weapons in Ultima VII Part Two, the lightning whip actually is one of the strongest weapons in that game.
  • The value of the weapon in Ultima VII may not be readily apparent, since the item graphic is very unseeming (looking like a tangled rope). This was changed for Ultima VII Part Two.
