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 bolt of lightning, similar to Shock. The bolt pierces enemies, though is fairly inaccurate. If the lightning bolt hits 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. This spell will set trees on fire.
Unlike other bolt spells, Lightning Bolt doesn't lose any squares of range when it hits monsters.
