Shadow Bolt


 * "May darkness take you, for when I'm done, the Light will not recognize you."— Radak Doombringer

Shadow Bolt is a level 1 warlock spell that deals direct damage to the target. It's the primary filler spell for both Affliction and Demonology warlocks. For Destruction warlocks it is replaced by Incinerate. For Demonology warlocks, Shadow Bolt generates a Soul Shard each time it is cast.

Affliction

 * Nightfall (warlock talent)
 * Shadow Embrace

Demonology

 * Pleasure through Pain (PvP Talent)
 * Sacrificed Souls

Notes and trivia

 * Shadow Bolt is a basic Warlock spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "It’s a Bolt. Its made out of Shadow. What more do you need to know!"
