Bolt Spells.

[Shalla]

[Teras Isle, Fhorian Village]
The road comes to a complete stop here as the vines have blocked any chance of you going further north, their heavy thorns barring your way. Only a small opening allows you to move in any other direction without tearing the flesh from your bones. You also see a siren lizard and a bolt of pure energy.
Obvious paths: east, south

[Teras Isle, Fhorian Village]
Close proximity to the coast seems to do very little to moisten the dry dust and cinder laden air that now burns the back of your throat. Here at the intersection of the three major paths that cut through the village, you are surrounded by the charred remains of this once beautiful community. You also see a green dreamstone, a bolt of pure energy
and a house.
Obvious paths: north, south, southwest

My question is, what was that bolt? A time delayed bolt that was waiting to strike me? Since when does that happen? :?:

Yes, I am aware of the scientific principles for energy build up in our athmosphere that would allow this kind of phenomena to happen in real life such as tornadoes, sandstorms and everything else meteorological.

Though I may not entirely understand what your asking, I believe this attack is supposed to be as if the Devil was waving the wand at all of you at once. Think of it as him making a vast sweeping motion with its...arm..and throwing electricity at the lot of you.

I know as players we cannot mass wave wands, but monsters have alot of cool actions we do not.

I believe she's talking about

"a bolt of pure energy. "

and I for one have no idea what it is.

It's a bolt from an elemental bow. Its also a different bolt from the ones the critter was firing at you.

Oh. Well then I was WAY off. Il leave my post up as a warning to all those who dont read posts carefully enough...and the damage it does to your frail frail ego.

Those bolts of pure energy are from an elemental bow.

an elemental bow? Explain deeper please?

there are certain bows out there that produce their own arrows/bolts
that bolt of pure energy was one of them....bolt such as a crossbow bolt..not a lightning bolt

no need to buy arrows/bolts all you do is fire the elemental bow and it automatically magically draws its own "elemental arrow"
the elemental arrows/bolts still stick around though like on the floor n such that was one of them
