Bolts

Bolts are the ammunition for the crossbow. They are available in  Ultima V,  Ultima VI,  Ultima VII and  Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
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.

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

Effectiveness of the Ammunition

 * In Ultima V and Ultima VI, bolts only enable usage of a crossbow. The damage rating depends solely on the crossbow.
 * In both of Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part Two bolts put +0 onto the basic damage.
 * In Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds bolts do average 5.5 points of damage.

Trivia

 * 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 bolt came from Iolo's Bows. Funny enough, the code was accidentally left in Ultima VII Part Two, despite this now being an impossibility (apart from the ammunition Iolo carries at the start).
