Charged Bolt is one of the first spells that the Sorceress can learn. Whilst deals the highest individual damage, and Ice Bolt slows enemies, Charged Bolt more effectively deals with large groups as it gains an additional bolt for each level. It may seem difficult to aim at first (when there is only three bolts shot on an erratic path) but with greater levels more and more enemies can be hit, and many enemies can be hit more than once.

Although its damage may seem very small, with synergies such as and Lightning Mastery, as well as the sheer number of bolts fired, Charged Bolt can deal respectable damage even in the later game.

Lightning Enchanted monsters release Charged Bolts when hit.
