Bolt spells are the second weakest elemental group of magic combat spells in the standard spellbook. Elemental staves can be used to cover the costs of these spells. These are free-to-play spells. Like all combat spells, each damage point caused by these spells yields 2 Magic experience and 1.33 Hitpoints experience.

Wearing Chaos gauntlets from the Family Crest quest (Level 59 Magic required) will increase the maximum damage of bolt spells by +3.This makes the spells almost as strong as the blast spells while having a much lower rune cost. Furthermore, using an Elemental Amulet (or the associated amulet of a matching element) would increase the damage by +2. This bonus stacks additive with those from the Chaos gauntlets for a total of +5 when casting bolt spells.
