'''Iron Shot''' is a single target, medium range attack spell that hurls a large and heavy metal bolt at the caster's foes. Similar to [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]], it is irresistable and powerful, but can miss or be blocked. At maximum [[spell power]] it deals up to 171 damage, strongly biased towards the average of 87: 9d18 with a 1/3 chance of 9d19. As it is much easier to find and cast than Lehudib's Crystal Spear, many players feel it is the superior spell.

In spite of being a single target spell, Iron Shot is extremely popular due to the fact that no monster has resistance against pure physical damage. Even [[Air Magic]]-specialists have been known to pick it up as a guaranteed weapon against the most dangerous and resistant foes out there, such as [[orbs of fire]]. While [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]] functions similarly while doing more damage, Iron Shot is much easier to find and cast safely, making it the more common choice.
When cast by monsters, it is nearly as potent as Lehudib's Crystal Spear, and has caused the demise of many adventurers. The following monsters can cast Iron Shot:

Iron Shot is a level 6 Conjurations/Earth Magic spell which launches a metal lance at a single target. It has modest range, and is both irresistable and very powerful, but can miss or be blocked.

In spite of being a single target spell, Iron Shot is extremely popular due to the fact that no monster has resistance against pure physical damage. Even Air Magic-specialists have been known to pick it up as a guaranteed weapon against the most dangerous and resistant foes out there, such as orbs of fire. While Lehudib's Crystal Spear functions similarly while doing more damage, Iron Shot is much easier to find and cast safely, making it the more common choice.
