| Weapon | Magick Bow |
Martyr's Bolt is the Maister skill of the Magick Archer vocation, taught by Cliodhna. It fires the ultimate magickal bolt by giving up part of the archer's maximum Health for a while. Cliodhna hands over the tome Spellbow's Paradox, which teaches it.
Fires the ultimate magickal bolt in exchange for a temporary decrease to the user's maximum Health. Reduced amount determines the bolt's potency. The loss gauge accumulates while charging.
How to Unlock Martyr's Bolt
Cliodhna teaches it through the tome Spellbow's Paradox, earned in Put a Spring in Thy Step. The quest starts in Agamen Volcanic Island.
How to Use Martyr's Bolt
The more Health is given up, the stronger the bolt. The loss gauge fills while the bolt charges. The tome is earned through the quest Put a Spring in Thy Step. The skill reaches its full strength only at a high enough Vocation Rank.
