Lightning Bolt is a relatively short range projectile type spell that inflicts large amounts of 
Electricity and 
Explosion damage. The explosion can deal a large amount of damage to you if fired at your feet or into a very close wall, and also poses a risk from electric shock and stuns carried via conductive materials in the environment. The short range can be improved using Speed and/or Lifetime modifiers, and, since it is (uniqely) not limited by Terminal Velocity, very long range and near-instant flight time are possible.
Tips
- Speed Up, Increase Duration, and Decelerating Shot will improve the range of the Spell. The Slithering Path modifier also increases the range, but causes the spell to always fire at a downward angle.
- Conversely, Heavy Shot will reduce the range significantly.
- Very effective against Stevari since it can pierce projectile shields.
- Trigger or Timer spells can be used to deliver the lightning bolt to a safer distance. This will also bypass the additional cast delay, allowing for a deadly rapid fire ranged attack.
- Using Add Trigger, Light Shot and Reduce Lifetime with Lightning Bolt produces an invisible projectile beam that instantly hits anything you can see on screen.
- Take great care when using this spell without the protective perks to guard against its effects. It is extremely easy to kill yourself with it, especially in the Hiisi Base and The Vault, which consist mostly of steel walls
- Wands that contain electric-based spells in one of their slots will be electrified, shocking you if you stay submerged in liquid for more than a couple of seconds with the wand equipped.
- Lightning Bolt has an innate piercing effect.
- Orbiting Arc and Spiral Arc modifiers surprisingly removes homing and distance limit. This turns lightning bolt into infinite range bass-cannon.
- Remove Explosion modifier can't remove its explosion.
