Arcane Bolt
Spell, Black Magic, level 1
Hurls a black bolt of magical energy at one creature, gaining damage with level.
From the book
The caster hurls a black bolt of magical energy at a creature up to 100 ft. away, dealing 1-4 damage. Each level of ability adds another 1-4 damage, so the bolt grows steadily deadlier as the caster advances. A target that saves vs Dexterity takes only half damage.

A scene
The hired sword who comes over the wall of the sorcerer's estate outside Kuru is quick, and he is already halfway across the moonlit garden when Nkosana steps out onto the balcony. She does not shout a warning. She points, and a bolt of black energy the length of a spear leaps from her fingertip and crosses the hundred feet between them before he can blink. He throws himself flat among the lilies and it only grazes him, tearing a smoking strip from his cloak. He does not get up for a while.
