Darkbolt?

[James McMurray]

Does anyone know where a spell can be found that creates bolts which require touch attacks and deal 2d8(?) damage each hit? Ibelieve the spell is called Darkbolt or something along those lines. It may have even been from WotC's web updates.

I'm pretty sure it's either in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book, or in the Magic of Faerun sourcebook.

It's not core. It's definitely FR...I think it's restricted to clerics with the Darkness domain, or something like that.

I don't have mah books here in fronta me though. :-(

Hope this helps!

Darkbolt
Darkness 5, Evo(Darkness),

1 ray/2 caster levels (max 7)
2d8 dmg /ray + will save or dazed 1 round. Range is medium, and the rays can be released all at once, or 1/rnd as a free action. There's some other bits as well, like undead take no damage but are dazed if they fail their save.

EDIT: oh yeah, FRCS.

Thanks!

Interestingly there is also a verison of exactly the same name in the BOVD only it is a different level. Also it is part of a 'darkness' domain yet the domain is entirely different from that in the FRCS. Oddness in the extreme especially considering the effect isn't that different

Darkbolt
Evo (darkness, Evil)
Clr 2, Wiz/Sor 2, Darkness 2

Single bolt, ranged touch attack, 1d8 damage per 2 caster levels (max 5d8) and half the damage is cold the other half is unspecific. Fort save or stunned for 1 round. Range is close.

I guess you get to choose
