'''Iron Shot''' is a single target, medium range attack spell that hurls a large and heavy metal bolt at the caster's foes. Similar to [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]], it is irresistable and powerful, but can miss. At maximum [[spell power]] it deals up to 171 damage, strongly biased towards the average of 87: 9d18 with a 1/3 chance of 9d19. As it is much easier to find and cast than Lehudib's Crystal Spear, as well as being significantly more accurate, many players feel it is the superior spell.
