Charged Bolt
===Charged Bolt===
[[Image:D1-icon-charged-bolt-sp.gif|frame]]
Charged Bolt sends out several small squares of electricity per use. These squares move semi-randomly in the direction the caster is facing, spreading out and usually bouncing off of walls. They are not especially damaging, but can be useful to "wake up" all of the non-lightning immune monsters in a room, bringing them out to fight while leaving the other monsters in the area undisturbed. This spell is especially useful against fast-moving monsters such as [[Balrog| Balrogs]] or lightning-sensitive[[D1_Succubus| Witches]]. In Normal -aka Wimp- mode, a medium-level sorcerer with a reasonable level in Charged Bolt (10-15) and Magic (150-200) can wipe an entire level populated by Vortex Lords and Soul Burners in mere minutes while suffering little damage, using Charged Bolt only (tested by yours truly on dlvl 14 with a level 24 mage, 182 Magic and Charged Bolt level 14. It took 15 minutes and 2 mana potions, and felt waaayyy overkill).
This spell can be quite annoying when used by mages; not for the tiny damage, but because it causes characters with a shield to stop to block.
