Lightning bolt is a combat spell. During the special attacks phase of the combat round, the magician sends a lightning bolt against the toughest defender in the front row of the opposing force. The lightning bolt acts as a 500 point attack against that defender.

Note that nobles protected by troops are not defenders, and so will not be targeted by this spell until all their troops have been eliminated.
