Bolt of Inaccuracy is a level 3 Conjurations spell (but since it's only available through a rod of destruction, Evocations determines its potency) that deals severe irresistible damage to anything it strikes, but with awful accuracy.
Strategy
- Because it produces little noise and missing a shot doesn't make any noise, you can cast it repeatedly against sleeping enemies until you finally land a hit.
- Corona, Sticky Flame, Divine halo and Sunshine can increase your accuracy (not cumulative; use only one).
- The following dangerous monsters have such lousy EV that you might be able to hit them semi-regularly (not a complete list):
- Hydras
- Stone giants
- Curse skulls
- Oklob plants
- Most jellies
- Most eyeballs
- Most mummies
- Bone dragons
- Gold dragon armour-wearing player ghosts
- Gastronok
- Firing at a line of several enemies greatly improves your odds of the bolt striking something.
