'''Explosive Bolt''' is a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Fire Magic]] spell (but since it is only available through use of a [[rod of ignition]], [[Evocations]] determines its damage and accuracy) which launches a piercing [[bolt spells|bolt]] of [[fire]]. Each target it successfully strikes explodes as though struck by a [[fireball]], allowing you to devastate large hordes of opponents. Just be aware that it does not have perfect accuracy like a fireball, as it must strike a target first to trigger the blast, and be careful not to cast it at a target in melee range unless you don't mind burning yourself too.
