A bolt of lightning that does 25 points of shock damage to Health and half that to Magicka.

Lightning Bolt is an apprentice level Destruction spell that deals shock damage to Health and Magicka.

Effects

• Lightning Bolt, 25 pts
• Perk Impact Stagger, 0.25 pts; if the Impact perk has been unlocked
• Disintegrate, 200 pts for 1 sec; if the Disintegrate perk has been unlocked

Perks

• Augmented Shock, raises damage to 31.25 at first rank or 37.5 at second rank

Notes

• Like most Lightning spells, it can be used to set off Lightning Runes from a safe distance.
• Has much shorter range than the equivalent Firebolt and Ice Spike 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.
• The bolt seems to weave through its trajectory, so sometimes it misses the point of aim especially at a distance.
