Fire bolt can be used by any monster that can cast mage spells. When cast, the caster will target a monster that they can see (or the square where they believe that monster to be) with a 3x3 explosion of fire centered on that square; if successful, the explosion can destroy [[potion]]s, [[scroll]]s and [[spellbook]]s in the open inventory of any monsters caught within, as well as burning vulnerable [[armor]]. The spell can miss the monster and blast the floor or ceiling harmlessly, and will have no effect if the target has complete [[fire resistance]]; monsters will not use this spell against a monster that they know has fire resistance.

Fire bolt is a monster spell that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM.

Description

Fire bolt can be used by any monster that can cast mage spells. When cast, the caster will target a monster that they can see (or the square where they believe that monster to be) with a 3x3 explosion of fire centered on that square; if successful, the explosion can destroy potions, scrolls and spellbooks in the open inventory of any monsters caught within, as well as burning vulnerable armor. The spell can miss the monster and blast the floor or ceiling harmlessly, and will have no effect if the target has complete fire resistance; monsters will not use this spell against a monster that they know has fire resistance. Monsters will also avoid using the spell if they are not aware of an appropriate target, or else would be caught in their own blast.

Kathryn the Ice Queen will never use this spell, casting ice bolt instead.
