Arrow It is all about magic

Now Lightning Bolt is a same Bolt magic as Ice Bolt, but differs in many ways. First, let us talk about how to obtain this skill.

Spell: Lightning Bolt is obtainable through lessons by Lassar in Tir cornail, or by reading and understanding the Book. Only problem is, Lassar in Tir cornail does not sell this Book of Lightning, so to obtain this skill at begining, I would suggest taking up lessons from Lassar for cheaper gold, as well as the extra intelligence from the lessons, for they are permanent. Don't want to? You can take about 20 minutes to walk to Dunbaton, the second town to get the book from Magic Academy there. Stewart sells it for about 7500 gold.

A -> Tir Cornail // B -> Dunbaton

Unlike Ice Bolt, Lightning Bolt has very unstable damage. It has very low minimum damage, as well as very high Maximum damage. At rank 1, damage done by Lightning Bolt is 40~150, which leaves 110 difference from Minimum damage to Maximum damage. For such reason, starting to level up Lightning Bolt from very begining when the magic damage balance is very low, is not recommended. Only way to increase magic balance is through Increasing one's intelligence and their Magic Mastery skill. Unlike other skills, enchants that increases Balance % nor does dexterity matter in spell damage. Now, it is quite not possible to have high intelligence at begining due to not being able to increase, not being able to raise various skills due to lack of Ability Points. Because of this, using Lightning Bolt at begining stage would not be very efficient.

Lightning Bolt is in many ways a very unique bolt magic.

First, It will put the monster that has been hit by lightning bolt for longest moment of suspension. By suspension, I mean the duration of time when monster gets hit and stops all action to recuperate. For this reason, It makes the casters have easier time to prepare for next casting after the first attack. This is useful when monster gets too close to the caster, and upon a hit, caster will have easier time preparing for next attack such as another bolt attack, or time to run up and hit the monster without worry of being hit back so easily.

Second, caster may charge up the lightning bolt up to five times and may chain through out monsters upon impact. If you are to charge the lightning bolt x times, upon a impact, it may hit up to x number of monsters when they are clustered together. Now, one needs to have experience in using Lightning Bolt many times him/her self in order to get an idea of distance "chain attack" will reach to next opponent. Lightning Bolt has another interesting fact; if charged twice or more, it will cause a single target to knock back. Now, it gets a little bit more complicated.

Let us say there Is a monster A and B. and you were to charge Lightning bolt three times and attacked monster A, causing a chain attack to B. Each charge would hit monster A and B. But now, the third charge will additionally attack the target you have targetted your self, causing monster A to be knocked back, while B to be in a moment of suspension. the damage dealth to each A and B will be the same. The reason to this is because Lightning Bolt's damage does not increase upon the number of charge.

Now, let us say there is Monster A, B, C and you were to charge lightning bolt three times and attacked monster A, causing a chain attack to B and C. The Lightning Bolt that was chained, hit monster once per bolt, and dissapear, leaving three monsters in moment of suspension.

Does it give you a basic idea? Now, if there were monsters A, B, C and you were to charge lightning bolt four times, casting upon a Monster A. This will cause monster A to be hit twice and cause knock down, B and C to be hit once and leaving them in the suspension.

Lastly, Lighning Bolt is the highest damage out of all the bolt magic when charged only once. I recommend that caster should have at least 200 intelligence if one is aiming to become a mage. This is because having 200 intelligence means the caster finally has good magic damage balance, enough to hit with Lightning Bolt at high damage. I do not mean this is required, nor one should stop at intelligence of 200. More Intelligence would only mean more Magic Damage Balance, as well as Spell Bonus Damage.

Unlike Ice Bolt, which cost lesser mana as charged more, Lightning Bolt will always cost the same mana. To give your self a challenge, Damage the mob as far as you can with Lightning Bolt. When the mob has lower life then what you think your Lightning Bolt will do, quickly switch the spell to Ice Bolt and kill the monster, saving you... 1 or two mana To become great, you must endure~ xD

Lightning Bolt has Casting time of 2.0 seconds from Rank F to Rank 6. From Rank 5 to Rank 1, casting time is reduced down to 1.5 seconds. Casting time also depends on the ability of the computer, for lag means delay in casting. Using the short casting time and the long suspension that Lightning Bolt puts the target through, one could even infinitely attack the monster through out charge -> attack -> charge -> attack without being hit, as long as monster does not have special defense ability.

Now, turn for ABILITY POINTS AGAIN! WOOT! OTL

Ap Cost of Lightning Bolt
Rank: Human : Elf : Giant
F: 5 : 6 : 5
E: 5 : 6 : 5
D: 5 : 6 : 5
C: 5 : 6 : 5
B: 5 : 6 : 5
A: 5 : 6 : 5
9: 8 : 10 : 8
8: 8 : 10 : 8
7: 8 : 10 : 8
6: 8 : 10 : 8
5: 10 : 14 : 10
4: 10 : 14 : 10
3: 10 : 14 : 10
2: 10 : 14 : 10
1: 20 : 20 : 20
Total AP Usage: 122 : 152 : 122



-Damage and Intel bonus-
Practice: 1~10 Damage, +0 Int
F: 1~40 Damage, +1 Int
E: 2~46 Damage, +2 Int
D: 3~52 Damage, +2 Int
C: 4~58 Damage, +2 Int
B: 5~65 Damage, +3 Int
A: 6~72 Damage, +3 Int
9: 7~79 Damage, +3 Int
8: 9~86 Damage, +4 Int
7: 11~93 Damage, +4 Int
6: 13~100 Damage, +4 Int
5: 20~110 Damage, +4 Int
4: 24~120 Damage, +5 Int
3: 28~130 Damage, +5 Int
2: 32~140 Damage, +5 Int
1: 40~150 Damage, +5 Int. Caster loses only one charge after being knocked down.

*This is because Elves have better Intel bonus which is more fit to be a caster, they made it harder for them to become better mages. This goes same for other skills, Elves are not the best suitable melee and given less strength, therefore AP cost of melee takes less. But bonus gained from skills are lower**

Having deeper understanding and great use of Lightning Bolt, it could indeed prove it self the best Bolt magic in Mabinogi. I believe using this spell at maximum capacity is to become step closer to being the best Mage.
