Firebolt (Skyrim)

 is an Apprentice-level Destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Casting this spell causes a bolt of fire to be shot at the intended target. Unlike Flames, which sprays a jet of fire continuously, Firebolt must be charged momentarily before being fired. Dual-casting this spell creates a unique animation, but in order to dual cast, the player must upgrade skills in the School of Destruction. Firebolt is also a possible enchantment for staves. Additionally, the player may learn Firebolt before entering The College of Winterhold for the first time, as the Gate keeper Faralda may ask the Dragonborn to perform this spell as a requirement to enter The College of Winterhold. If the player does not know how to cast the spell, Faralda will sell it for 30 Gold.

Perks

 * The "Augmented Flames" perk increases the fire damage done by this spell by 25% on the first point and 50% on the second point.
 * The "Intense Flames" perk causes targets to flee when health is lowered by fire damage.
 * "Impact" causes this spell to stagger an opponent when dual casting.

Useability

 * Casting this spell at dead bodies will cause them to move a great deal. Dual casting enhances this effect (dual casting at a dragon's skeleton will cause it to fly, sometimes farther than the render distance).
