Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fires a penetrating bolt of flames.

Bolt of Fire is a monster-only spell capable of striking multiple targets along its path, dealing a considerable amount of fire damage. Fire resistance reduces the damage dealt by this spell by 50% (rF+), 66% (rF++), or 80% (rF+++). The Fire Breath monster ability is very similar to this spell.

Like other types of Fire Magic, bolts of fire that pass through water will create steam, and are negated by freezing clouds.

The following enemies cast Bolt of Fire:

& Asmodeus (3d26 damage)
R Azrael (3d20 damage)
2 Balrug (3d23 damage)
e Deep elf pyromancer (3d17 damage)
q Draconian scorcher (3d25 damage)

-'''Bolt of Fire''' is a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Fire Magic]] [[Bolt spell]] capable of striking multiple targets along its path, doing a considerable amount of [[fire]] damage. Damage and accuracy are both determined by [[spell power]]. It is more or less the exact analogue of [[Bolt of Cold]], with the same damage potential and accuracy, though with slightly greater range.

-Along with its purely offensive uses, Bolt of Fire is useful for creating [[cloud]]s of [[steam]]. Each tile of [[shallow water]] or [[deep water]] your Bolt of Fire crosses generates 2-6 clouds, potentially blocking dangerous enemies from being able to see you. Bolts of Fire can also be used to destroy freezing clouds, though each cloud destroyed this way reduces the bolt's range by 5.
