Force bolt is a spell. Every wizard starts the game knowing this spell and carrying a spellbook of force bolt. It is equivalent to a wand of striking. It does 2d12 damage.
Zap the spell by pressing [Z], selecting the letter of the spell (starts at [a] for Wizards), then choosing a direction [yuhjklbn]. Use the spell to kill monsters and break doors/boulders/statues.
Strategy
Do not attack nymphs with this spell. Nymphs like to carry mirrors. If you manage to kill a nymph with this spell, the mirror breaks, causing a -2 Luck penalty.
It is a bad idea to use this spell in shops, as it can and will break fragile merchandise, possibly leaving you with a debt you are unable to pay.
Force bolt can pass the first monster it hits, also hitting monsters behind it.
The spell has a range of 5 squares.
