'''Lightning Bolt''' is a level 5 [[Conjurations]]/[[Air Magic]] spell which fires a bolt of lightning, dealing less reliable damage than other [[Bolt spells]], but at longer range and with the potential to strike targets twice through [[multizap]]ping. By firing your bolt into a rock or stone [[wall]], it will bounce back at an angle, dealing damage to everything it strikes along the way. Unfortunately, the spell creates a lot of noise.
