'''Bolt of Magma''' is a level 5 [[Conjurations]]/[[Fire Magic]]/[[Earth Magic]] spell which deals respectable [[fire]] damage to any enemies it strikes. It has a shorter range than most [[Bolt spells]], and loses one square of range each time it hits a monster, but only 55% of the damage it deals is affected by fire resistance.

Bolt of Magma can deal heavy damage, on par with [[Bolt of Fire]] when at full [[spell power]] (max 152 vs max 150). Unfortunately, as a spell powered by three magic schools, it's significantly harder to get to full spell power. On top of that, its reduced range reduces its versatility. Still, characters who have been focusing almost entirely on Fire Magic and Conjurations may want a spell for taking out fire resistant opponents, and Bolt of Magma fits the bill nicely. Consider it if you have the spell levels available, but you may be better served complementing your [[Fireball]] and [[Bolt of Fire]] with non-elemental Conjurations.
 
 
 
Alternatively, characters focused on [[Earth Magic]] who wish to branch into Fire Magic may find this spell useful. It also helps [[Earth Elementalist]]s that are in need of a bolt spell, as most Earth Magic spells are single-target.
