Fire Bolt

Fire Bolt focuses a fire attack on a single target within sight. In a story, it can be a clear, swift expression of the caster's resolve. It is intended for a direct confrontation, rather than extending an explosion to everyone nearby. Its bonus distinguishes its effectiveness from the basic Spark, while the usual rules for a magical attack still apply.

It is useful when a hero wants to attack a specific opponent they can see. The final damage depends on the attack and the target's magical defense; it is not a fixed, guaranteed amount. The spell does not add unlisted hits on neighboring creatures or an ongoing burning condition. For the party, it can serve as a precisely aimed tool instead of a riskier area attack.

Exact effect: A direct, single-target magical fire attack against the target's MDEF. Bonus: +2 to MATK. Target: 1 target within sight. Duration: instantaneous. Restrictions: —. Using it requires at least Intelligence 7, the appropriate casting ability, and knowledge of this spell. Meeting the numerical requirements alone does not grant knowledge of the spell.
