Spell of the Week -- Insane Bolt!

The Spell of the Week this week is one of those that you hardly see used because the risk just doesn't seem match the reward. On the other hand, it can sure make things happen quickly either way because of its impressive power. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the . . .

INSANE BOLT



As you can see from the spell card, it's a storm spell that deals moon damage, making it a very unique beast from the get go. It's a flip of the coin--1000 to your enemy or 10000 to you. When someone plays the Insane Bolt card, it's do or die time.

The spell is typically earned by Storm Wizards when they are 55th level through completing a spell quest in Wintertusk where you have to battle it out with a particularly nasty Grendel named Skabrok, a rank 10 storm boss with 8,000+ hitpoints. The rest of the populous have access to the Insane bolt card through treasure cards in the Bazaar (these drop liberally in Zafaria) and a crafted necklace.

Good luck using this spell, you're gonna need it!

I asked the readers of the Friendly Necromancer to try and capture the Insane bolt in action. They responded in droves! Check 'em out.

"Happy new year everyone! Yea i thought the spell was gonna hit the other guy, but it hit me. So i got into a conclusion: Storm guy with 85% storm damage + Insane Bolt = terrible.
Tip: If you're casting that spell, be sure to ALWAYS have a storm shield."

heh. See comments below on why using a shield doesn't work (it's moon damage).
