Template:Bolt-channel

Channeling a bolt spell imposes a 3 second hard roundtime in exchange for a higher chance of hitting a vital area and subjects the attack to less critical randomization. Specifically, the critical randomization floor is decreased by 1-2 ranks (depending on the actual critical) and the chance to hit every location is the same at 7%. The roundtime imposed by channeling cannot be mitigated by any haste effect.
