Strategy[]
This ability deals tons of damage, can be cast quickly, works great for single target and AoE, and also stacks well with Wand Chaos. However there are several huge drawbacks to this ability: it costs a massive amount of Mana, it also builds no Charge, so it is almost impossible to sustain over long periods of time. It is recommended that you alternate between abilities like Prismatic Bolt to fill your Charge Bar, and when it is full use Shockbolts for massive damage.
