The custom bolt messaging service alters the attack messaging on a bolt spell by customizing both the verb (e.g. hurl, toss, throw, fling, breathe, exhale, direct) and the object that is thrown. The service may be offered via pre-made options or via full customization, which causes it to be a delayed service.
In the case of Fire Spirit (111), only the attack line is customized. The fireworks can be altered via the Custom Fire Spirit service.
Cone of Elements (518) casts the applicable individual bolt spells at each target, so if a wizard customizes Minor Fire (906), then casts Cone of Elements with Minor Fire, it will use the custom Minor Fire messaging. Major Air Bolt doesn't exist as an individual spell, but it can still be customized for when it is cast via Cone of Elements.
Example
The big bolded phrase is the customization, replacing the standard spell message: "hurl a roaring ball of fire."
>incant 908
