Not very often, naturally, but that turns a 4d6 bolt into 8d6 which is nice.b) if carries on scaling - the bite-sized chunks mean that it evades the damage cap on 3rd level spells, and at 20th level you could throw 5 bolts at a target for 20d6 damagec) it is more selective than a fireball (clutching at straws here!) so you can fire it into melee.Cheers</blockquote>
