History

Iron Shot

• Prior to 0.31, Iron Shot was a level 6 Conjurations/Earth spell available to players. It functioned similarly to Bombard, but did more damage and did not knock the player back.
• Iron Shot was formerly named Bolt of Iron, and then Iron Bolt, but was renamed once more in 0.6 due to the fact that it did not function like the other Bolt spells.
