Shadow Bolt

Shadow Bolt is a craftable magic weapon that fires a fast, homing projectile. It functions as an upgraded counterpart to Blood Bolt, trading the same general style of attack for noticeably better speed, stronger tracking, and higher damage.

Because of its projectile behavior, Shadow Bolt is especially effective in fights where keeping pressure on a moving target matters. Its homing makes it easier to land repeated hits on agile enemies, and its speed helps the bolt connect before enemies can reposition. This makes it a strong choice for magic users who want reliable damage without needing to stay perfectly aimed at every shot.

Shadow Bolt is particularly useful against the Reaper and the Cryo Queen, where its tracking and damage output perform very well. It is also a good option against the Fallen Wizard when paired with the Shadow Beam, letting both weapons work together to maintain consistent magical pressure.
