- Prior to 0.26, bolt spells would decrease by 1 range for every target they hit.
- Prior to 0.25, Bolt of Cold was a level 6 Conjurations/Ice Magic spell available to players.
- It was often considered worse than Bolt of Fire, due to its inferior range, and the fact that cold resistant monsters were generally more common (undead have rC+, for instance).
