[[Lightning Bolt]] is a level 5 [[Conjurations]]/[[Air Magic]] spell which fires a bolt of lightning, dealing less reliable damage than similar level fire and ice spells, but at longer range and with the potential to strike targets twice. By firing your bolt into a rock or stone wall, it will bounce back at an angle, dealing damage to everything it strikes along the way (see [[multizap]] for more details). Unfortunately, the spell creates a lot of noise. Unlike other bolt-type spells, Lightning Bolt doesn't lose any squares of range when it hits monsters.

Fires a mighty bolt of lightning. Its damage bypasses half of defender's armour, and it can be bounced off walls to hit targets twice.

Lightning Bolt is a monster-only spell which fires a somewhat inaccurate bolt of lightning, similar to Shock. This bolt can pierce through enemies. If the lightning bolt hits a rock or stone wall, it will bounce back at an angle, potentially striking a target twice. See doublezap for more information.

As a property of BEAM_ELEC damage, it ignores 1/2 of enemy AC. It also creates a lot of noise and will set trees on fire.
