Lightning Bolt
Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt is a level 5 Conjurations/Air Magic spell which fires a bolt of lightning. The bolt pierces enemies, though is fairly inaccurate. By firing your bolt into 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. Unlike other bolt spells, Lightning Bolt doesn't lose any squares of range when it hits monsters.
Strategy
- Much like some of the more powerful Fire Magic spells, Lightning Bolt can be used to set trees ablaze.
