 '''Venom Bolt''' is a monster-only [[bolt spell]] which causes [[poison]] damage to all enemies that it strikes along its path, both immediately and over time by poisoning them. [[Poison#Poison_Resistance|Poison resistance]] reduces the damage dealt by this spell by 66% and prevents the poison effect 66% of the time. Targets with complete poison immunity, including the [[undead]] and [[nonliving]], are completely unaffected by this spell.

-'''Venom Bolt''' is a level 5 [[Conjurations]]/[[Poison Magic]] [[bolt spell]] which causes [[poison]] damage to all enemies that it strikes along its path, both immediately and over time by poisoning them. Poison resistant targets take significantly less damage. Each time it hits a monster it loses one square of range.

Poison resistant targets take significantly less damage. Each time it hits a monster it loses one square of range.
 ==Tips & Tricks==
 For its level, Venom Bolt deals significant amounts of damage, making it useful in clearing those mid-game [[branch]]es that have few poison resistant monsters such as [[the Lair]], the [[Orcish Mines]], the [[Elven Halls]], [[the Spider's Nest]], and [[the Shoals]]. If you can line up several enemies along a narrow hallway, you can devastate them with only one or two castings.
-Just be mindful of the spell's limited effect against resistant foes. All [[undead]], [[demon]]ic, [[:Category:Plant holiness|plant]], and [[:Category:Nonliving holiness|non-living]] opponents are resistant or immune to poison damage, as are a number of perfectly ordinary living foes. While there are viable targets in nearly every branch of the Dungeon, you might prefer [[Poisonous Cloud]] for versatility and area of effect or [[Poison Arrow]] for higher single-target damage instead.
