This spell was a favorite of Avasir's, it allows the caster to fire multiple bolts of force from his hands. The caster can fire two bolts starting at first level, and gains an extra bolt every level beyond first. The bolts have a range of 15 feet per level and each does 1d4+1 damage, with an additional +1 damage for every 3 levels of experience. The caster can fire two bolts per round, starting at first level. At 6th level he may fire three bolts per round and at 11th level he may fire four bolts per round. The caster strikes as if he were a Fighter of equal level, gaining bonuses for high Dexterity and a further +1 bonus to hit for every three levels of experience beyond first. The caster can double his attacks per round, if he chooses to fire bolts from both hands, however, this results in a -2 penalty to strike. Targets of the bolts are given a chance to Save vs Spells, if such a Save is made the target takes only one half damage. The spell lasts as long as the caster has bolts, until dispelled or until the caster decides to quit the spell. The caster may cast other spells while this one is in effect. These Forcebolts do double damage to any "Shield" type spells.
