I don't have a copy of incantrix handy).Bolt each doing 4d6 base, which goes to 24 +12 +12 +12 +12 +12+12 = 96 damage a bolt.5 bolts = 576 damage assuming no criticals and no misses and a failed save.To max the to hit roll have true strike and a maximized empowered cat's grace to boost your dexterity (assuming 18 base) we get 2 +(3 free) +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1Dexs goes to 5 +2.5 +2.5 +2.5 +2.5 +2.5 +2.5 +2.5 = 40 dex totalfor a +30 to hit bonus, with +50 on the first attack. Nothing spectaular, but if he cannot see invis he looses his dex bonus, and as it's a touch attack ACs will be dismal.To boost the save, you can carbon copy on of the Wizard DC smacks listed in the sultans of smack thread. Basiclly get Greater Spell focus: Evocation, +6 head band of INT, and push the archmage spell bonus into Evocation.(that above alone nets you INT +11 bonus +4 for focus +3 for the archmage +3 for spell level for a DC total of 31.)If you have on miss, assume one criticals <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Total Smack+50/30 to hit (Note: futher optimisation is possible) Range touch attack with target having no dex bonus.Save DC: 31 (could be better I think)Damage: assuming all hits, no criticals and no successful saves: 576If I have got my maximize and empowered spell stack wrong, it comes out as down above (assume you roll a 5 on that cat's grace <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Except New Damage: 315 (assuming average damage)</blockquote>
