Shock is a level 1 Conjurations/Air Magic spell which fires a bolt of electricity through any number of targets in its range. Shock reflects off of rock or stone walls, allowing it to hit multiple enemies multiple times for greatly increased damage. Also, unlike more powerful bolt spells (Bolt of Fire, Bolt of Cold, etc.), its range isn't decreased when it hits a target, making it perfect for clearing long hallways full of weaker foes. Unfortunately, this spell pays for this ability by being noticeably less accurate than spells of similar level and power, making it far less useful against single opponents.
Air Elementalists begin with this spell memorized.
Strategy
- You are NOT immune to your own reflected Shock spell. Be aware that it may be difficult to cast this against foes in cramped quarters (the game warns you if you are about to accidentally shoot yourself).
- When dealing with single opponents, it is often best to try to maneuver them into a position where you can multizap them, if only to compensate for the spell's low accuracy.
