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.
Strategy
Bolt of Magma can deal heavy damage, even greater than Bolt of Fire when at full spell power. 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.
