'''Iron Shot''' is a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Earth Magic]] spell which launches a metal lance at a single target. It has modest range, and is both irresistable and very powerful, but can miss or be blocked.
 
 
In spite of being a single target spell, Iron Shot is extremely popular due to the fact that no monster has resistance against pure physical damage. Even [[Air Magic]]-specialists have been known to pick it up as a guaranteed weapon against the most dangerous and resistant foes out there, such as [[orbs of fire]]. While [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]] functions similarly while doing more damage, Iron Shot is much easier to find and cast safely, making it the more common choice.
 
 
==Monster Version==
