Notes[edit]

  • Thunderbolt is essentially just a much more powerful (and expensive) version of Lightning Bolt, with added sound effects and screen shake.
  • Like most Lightning spells, it can be used to set off Lightning Runes from a safe distance.
  • It has much shorter range than the equivalent Incinerate and Icy Spear spells, but the fact that it is cast instantly instead of as a projectile makes it much easier to hit moving targets so long as they're within range.
  • Thunderbolt is very useful for fowling (Hawks, Bone Hawks, Felsaad Terns). As long as the birds aren't flying too high, they can be hit with only a little bit leading. Best to use where the fallen bird can be reached.
