Flame Bolt is the most basic attack spell in sorcery.

Spell Description[edit]

Flame Bolt is the weakest and most basic of the attack spells available to the sorcerer and it shoots a glowing sphere of fire, a fireball, at the selected foe, causing burn damage and a small explosion if a hit is successful.

Lore[edit]

This spell shoots a bolt of fire from the caster, burning anything unlucky enough to be the target of the Sorcerer’s ire.
A bolt of flame is released when the Sorcerer invokes this spell, shooting forth, unerringly to the object of the Sorcerer’s ire. Upon reaching its destination, it explodes, causing moderate damage to all things caught within its range.
– from Flame Bolt (Ultima VIII)
