This spell hurls a bolt containing fiery energy; on piercing a target, it lets loose an explosion that harms nearby creatures as well.

Explosive Bolt is a level 6 spell only available through a rod of ignition. Each target it hits will cause a 3×3 explosion on the target, as through struck by Fireball.

While it doesn't have perfect accuracy, it can tear through a cramped group of opponents. Also note that the explosions can hurt you, so try to avoid using it against melee opponents.

-'''Explosive Bolt''' is a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Fire Magic]] spell (but since it is only available through use of a [[rod of fiery destruction]], [[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.
