The SendingStone review

The Fire Bolt spell is an essential tool for both sorcerers and wizards as it deals significant damage at a distance without the need for a higher level spell slot. It has a fast casting time and can be used repeatedly, making it a reliable attack option. The spell's range of 120 feet adds a valuable ranged aspect to combat, giving spellcasters the ability to hit targets from a safe distance. Its fire damage type is useful against creatures vulnerable or resistant to other forms of damage. Overall, Fire Bolt is a great spell for any sorcerer or wizard looking for a reliable and powerful ranged attack option.
