Fire Bolt is the base skill of the Fire Spells, and is the default skill a Sorceress has upon creation in-game (via a staff with +1 to Fire Bolt). Fire Bolt's damage is very low and has only a one-monster range, making it mostly only suitable for low-level Sorceresses. It is, however, advisable to invest at least a few points in this skill just to add to your synergies, if you're using other Fire-based skills like Fire Ball or Meteor.
Lore[]
The Fire Bolt is among the first cantrips a young Sorceress must learn before traveling out into the known world. Gathering a small amount of elemental energies, the Sorceress hurls darts of pure fire at those who seek to injure her.[1]
