Bolts

These are the standard bolts that are sold by every bowyer. They are not special in any way and don't deal any extra damage, but will work with any normal crossbow. Thankfully, any adventurer with some skill in magic can upgrade these to superior magic bolts with the spell Enchant. They are available in  Ultima V,  Ultima VI,  Ultima VII and  Ultima VII Part Two.

Effectiveness of the Weapon

 * In both of Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two put +0 on the basic damage.
 * In Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds it does average 5.5 points of damage.

Trivia

 * Buyable bolts -- as well as the need for ammunition -- first appeared in  Ultima V.


 * In  Ultima VII Part Two, the spell Create Ammo can be used to create bolts, if crossbows are used as the primary ranged weapons.


 * Double-clicking on a bolt while Iolo is in the party in Ultima VII, he will show the Avatar proudly, that the bold came from Iolo's Bows. Funny enough, the cody was accidently left in Ultima VII Part Two, despite this now being an impossibility (apart from the ammuntion Iolo carries at the start).
