Prior to [[0.25]], Bolt of Fire was a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Fire Magic]] spell available to players.
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.

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.
