This spell enables the priest to call upon the wrath of Anhur and summon a bolt of lightning to strike a single target. This bolt causes 1d4 points of damage plus 2 points of damage per level of the priest, to a maximum of 44 points. If the target rolls a successful saving throw vs. spell, the damage is halved.

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

Notes: Granted by the Mulhorandi god Anhur of the Forgotten Realms setting.
