Lightning Bolt calls down a jolt of lightning that strikes a single enemy for Wind magic damage, firing one bolt for every level of the skill.
Overview
Lightning Bolt is the Mage's Wind-element single-target attack and the prerequisite for Thunder Storm. It is strongest against Water- and Flying-element enemies. Total damage scales with skill level by adding extra hits.
Mechanics
The skill strikes once per skill level, with each individual bolt dealing 100% of MATK. Cast time and after-cast delay both increase with level.
Damage formula: Damage = 100 × SkillLv (% of MATK), delivered as SkillLv separate hits of 100% each.
So at Lv 1 it is a single 100% hit, rising to ten 100% hits (1000% total) at Lv 10.
Leveling

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 100 | 0.5 | 12 |
| 3 | 3 | 300 | 1.5 | 16 |
| 5 | 5 | 500 | 2.5 | 20 |
| 7 | 7 | 700 | 3.5 | 24 |
| 10 | 10 | 1000 | 5.0 | 30 |
