Bolt of Fire is a level 6 Conjurations-Fire Magic spell capable of striking multiple targets along its path, doing a considerable amount of fire damage. It is more or less the exact analogue of Bolt of Cold, with the same damage potential, range, and accuracy.
A bolt of fire does 100% of its damage as fire, which can be mitigated by fire resistance. It interacts with terrain and clouds as follows:
- Destroys freezing clouds, losing five squares of range for each freezing cloud it destroys.
- Creates 2-6 clouds of steam for each square of water it passes over.
- Loses one point of range each time it hits a monster.
A bolt of fire which strikes the player may destroy scrolls in his inventory. Player-launched bolts of fire have a range of 7-16 squares (flat distribution), doing damage specified by
calc_dice(6, 18 + power * 2 / 3)
with a to-hit number of (10 + power / 25).
For example:
- bolt of fire with power 50 does 6d8 (6-48) damage and has a to-hit number of 12.
- bolt of fire with power 100 does 6d14 (6-84) damage and has a to-hit number of 14.

Cast by a monster, the spell has power equal to 12 times the caster's hit dice (like any monster spell). All monster-launched bolts of fire do an amount of damage given by
dice_def(3, 8 + power / 11)
with a to-hit number of (17 + power / 25). Thus, thrown by a 15 HD caster, it will do 3d24 (3-72) damage and have a to-hit number of 24.
