Thunderbolt is a level 2 (effectively boostable to 5) Conjurations/Air Magic spell, but as it is only available through the lightning rod, its performance is dependent on Evocations. Each consecutive use increases the power of the spell. Additionally, consecutive shots can target an area, doing reduced damage based on the width of the arc.

Effective Spell Level: 2 + number of consecutive shots (up to 5)
Spellpower: 5 + 3 × Evocations
Damage: {Spell Level}d{(30+Spellpower/6)/(arc_length+2)}; arc_length is always at least 1
Accuracy: Automatic hit
Range: 5

See the lightning rod article for details on this spell's behavior.
