Bolt of Fire

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fires a penetrating bolt of flames.

Bolt of Fire is a monster-only spell capable of striking multiple targets along its path, dealing a considerable amount of fire damage. Fire resistance reduces the damage dealt by this spell by 50% (rF+), 66% (rF++), or 80% (rF+++). The Fire Breath monster ability is very similar to this spell.

Like other types of Fire Magic, bolts of fire that pass through water will create steam, and are negated by freezing clouds.
