The 2nd level air spell [[Lightning Bolt]] (one power point netting 25 points of damage using the spell, with constant base boni being 0.4x (10 dmg) @basic, 0.8x (20 dmg) @adv, 2x (50 dmg) at expert) does this amount of damage at about '''24''' spell power points with 10 points of mana (not 0 like in [[Titan's Lightning Bolt]]) spent.

However, although Titan's Lightning Bolt appears to be a lightning-based spell, [[Pendant of Negativity]] does not make hero's creatures immune to it, as it does for example in the case of [[Lightning Bolt]] or [[Chain Lightning]].


It would deal 610 air damage at basic skill with 24 spell power points having a bonus of about  half the spell power, at advanced air spell skill it would be 620 air damage having a one time base bonus of about the spell power.
Because of the zero casting cost, Titan's Lightning Bolt is the most effective damage per spell point spent ratio.
 
A hero with a maxed out secondary skill of air magic would only need a measly 23 points of spell power dealing 625 air damage using [[Lightning Bolt]] compared to [[Titan%27s Lightning Bolt]], if the creature stack does not have spell resistance or can bypass some of the damage.

Titan's Lightning Bolt is a 5th level spell in the School of Air Magic. It was was introduced to Heroes of Might and Magic III in Shadow of Death expansion with the combination artifact Titan's Thunder.

While the assembled artifact is equipped, Titan's Lightning bolt is set into hero's spell book. The spell has no (zero) casting cost and always does 600 points of damage regardless of hero's spell power or level of expertise in Air Magic. However, if the Orb of the Firmament is equipped, the damage is increased to 900 points.

Earth and Magma Elementals are immune to Titan's Lightning Bolt, while Air and Storm Elementals are vulnerable to it. However, although Titan's Lightning Bolt appears to be a lightning-based spell, Pendant of Negativity does not make hero's creatures immune to it, as it does for example in the case of Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning.

Because of the zero casting cost, Titan's Lightning Bolt is the most effective damage per spell point spent ratio.
