They inflict less damage than other similar bolts, but their damage partially bypasses armour and they can be bounced off walls to hit targets twice.}}<br /> <br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;wand of lightning&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the more powerful attack [[wand]]s in the game, capable of launching deadly [[lightning bolt]]s at your opponents. These can strike multiple enemies without losing range, and will bounce off rock or stone [[wall]]s, potentially hitting enemies multiple times. Just be aware that its possible to hit yourself this way! Also, these wands generate a lot of [[noise]] (more than twice as much as [[shout]]ing), so don&#039;t be surprised if using it wakes up nearby monsters. It can hold at most 15 charges.<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> If you can&#039;t fire this wand at an enemy without zapping yourself, use the &quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&quot; key to fire at its tile. This will cause the bolt to end once it hits the desired point, rather than travelling for its entire possible range. You won&#039;t be able to benefit from the bounce, but at least you won&#039;t be electrocuted.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Wands of lightning were removed in [[0.21]].<br /> <br /> Prior to [[0.20]], it was possible to break [[mesmerisation]] by zapping a wand of lightning.<br /> <br /> {{wands}}</div>
