This spell enables a priest of Gilgeam to hurl a bolt of lightning from his or her upraised holy symbol to strike a single target. The bolt causes 1d4 points of electric al damage per level of the priest to a maximum of 10d4. If the target succeeds at a saving throw vs. spell, the damage is halved.

In addition, the bolt unleashes a clap of thunder upon striking its target (or reaching the end of the spell range) that affects anyone within 30 feet of the thunderous noise . Everyone with in range, including the target, must make a separate saving throw vs. spell. Success indicates the target is deafened for 1d4 rounds. Failure indicates that the target is deafened for 1d6 rounds and stunned (reeling and unable to act) for one round.

The material component for this spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Notes: Granted to priests of Gilgeam in the Forgotten Realms setting.
