Lightning Bolt
Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Lightning Bolt is a monster-only spell which fires a somewhat inaccurate bolt of lightning, similar to Shock. This bolt can pierce through enemies. If the lightning bolt hits a rock or stone wall, it will bounce back at an angle, potentially striking a target twice. See doublezap for more information.
As a property of BEAM_ELEC damage, it ignores 1/2 of enemy AC. It also creates a lot of noise and will set trees on fire.
