== Factors That Affect Holy Bolt ==
The chief factor with Holy Bolt is the type of target. Against living targets the spell acts the same as the wizard spell, [[Minor Water (903)]]. However, against undead targets the spell is significantly more powerful. In addition to the acid effect, there is an increase to both the [[Damage factor|damage factors]] and the [[Attack versus defense|AvD values]].

Holy Bolt hurls a stream of holy water at a target. This stream damages the target with the concussive weight of the water (Impact damage) or with the cleansing power of acid against the Undead. It is the spell that is found in Alchemy-made spiraled willow wands and the aquamarine wands found in the treasure system, if blessed by the Cleric Base spell Bless Item (304).

The chief factor with Holy Bolt is the type of target. Against living targets the spell acts the same as the wizard spell, Minor Water (903). However, against undead targets the spell is significantly more powerful. In addition to the acid effect, there is an increase to both the damage factors and the AvD values.

Although the Attack Strength for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's dexterity stat bonus and Spell Aiming skill bonus, other spell's, such as, Bravery (211), Heroism (215), Benediction (307), Spirit Strike (117) and society abilities can significantly increase the spell's effectiveness.

Spell Usage

  • PREP 306|CAST {target} or INCANT 306 to hurl a stream of holy water at your target.

Can also be used to extinguish burning objects, creatures or characters (may be subject to a skill check). Casting at oneself or characters from defensive or guarded stance simply drenches them with water (no mechanical effect), and gives them a 'penitent' feeling.
