'''Lightning Bolt''' is a monster-only spell which fires a bolt of lightning, similar to [[Shock]]. The bolt pierces enemies, though is fairly inaccurate. If the lightning bolt hits a rock or stone [[wall]], it will bounce back at an angle, potentially striking targets twice through the [[multizap]]. Unfortunately, the spell creates a lot of noise. This spell will set [[tree]]s on fire.
