Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt is a direct magical attack against a single visible target. Its brief electrical manifestation can express the caster's sudden decision to strike a specific opponent. Under the rules, it is a clearly aimed spell: its name does not mean an automatic hit on other nearby creatures or an unlimited change to the weather above the battlefield.
The attack is resolved against the target's magical defense, so casting alone does not determine the amount of damage. It does not add unlisted stunning, loss of a turn, or chaining between neighboring opponents. For the party, it can provide a well-defined basic attack option from this school, while stronger and area spells require different choices of situation and available uses.
Exact effect: A direct lightning 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.
