Bolt of knowledge

Bolt of knowledge is a folklorist spell that can be studied beginning at guild level 20.

Bolt of knowledge is a channeled spell. After hitting an enemy, you will begin channeling the spell. Each round while channeling, there is a chance to extend the duration of the channel for another round, costing 25sp and dealing additional damage to the target. Each turn there is a chance that the channel will break, depending on the mob's psi resistance and possibly other factors. Channeling can only succeed if you are in the second or third row of a party and attempting any other skill or spell will interrupt channeling.

Spell words: scientia et experientia sagitta

A folklorist offensive spell, drawing power from the known weaknesses of the target's race, gender, alignment et cetera. Well studied creatures are more vulnerable to this spell. As a psionic attack, the caster is somewhat drained by the attack - this also means the spell can devastate a lesser mind. The spell creates a link between the caster and the target, which can be used, through intense concentration, to deal further harm to the target.
