Water Bolt is a water-based bolt spell in the standard spellbook, requiring level 23 Magic to cast. As an offensive combat spell it can only be cast on attackable NPCs, or other players in a PvP situation.

Damage

Water Bolt's base maximum hit starts at 10 and increases as the player unlocks additional bolt spells, up to 12. Players who have completed the Family Crest quest can wear Chaos gauntlets to increase the maximum hit by an additional +3, up to 15 at level 35 Magic.

Magic level	Highest-level bolt spell available	Water Bolt base maximum hit	Water Bolt maximum hit with Chaos gauntlets
23 - 28	Water Bolt	10	13
29 - 34	Earth Bolt	11	14
35 +	Fire Bolt	12	15

As with all combat spells, Water Bolt's maximum hit is also increased based on the player's magic damage bonus.

As a water-based spell, Water Bolt's maximum hit is also increased against targets that are weak to water.
