I just started playing again a couple of days ago after being away for about
a year and have a question. Can I use an offensive spell (i.e. fireball) in
towns (such as Skara Brae) to fight skeletons and shades? I seem to
remember that all offensive spells in town that I would use would get me
killed by the guards immediately regardless of who I was using it on. Is
this the case now?

One upon a time, there was a magical fairy named Monkeydust who lived in
rec.games.computer.ultima.online and spoke thusly:

The NORMAL situation is that you can cast them, but they do 0 damage.
There's currently a plotline running where monsters will "attack" cities,
and guards will not kill them (but they will kill players who attack other
players) and thus, in the cities that are being attacked, magic does full
damage.

Ok, I'll give it a shot next time I am in a town that is attacked.

Thanks

guards will ignore you unless you attack other players in town. They will
also ignore the shades/skels in town.

Pity we don't have monsters in town on Oceania :(
