This was in the game until July 24th, 2002. Basically if the bolt went up or down elevation at a target coming at you, it would hit twice.

Here's your proof of when they fixed it --> http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches-2002-2.html

- Fixed a bug with bolt spells that caused double hits due
to elevation. Sorry Mages.

I distinctly remember this bug. I'll dig up some old screenshots.
I remember killing spiders in DL for the Drachnid Thyxl. If I was up on a hill, casting bolts down on the spiders, more often than not the bolt would hit twice. It was amazing.
