when casting flame bolt, you have to move your charecter after casting it for the spell to land, otherwise there's no message for resist, or a hit, just nothing.

Also, people running, will outrun the flame bolt spell, the target must be standing completely still for the flame bolt spell to hit, this is the level 8 one, but I imagine that the other's are similar since they probably use the same mechanics.

On live, before luclin, the flame bolt spell did require a line of sight for it to hit, but it also had a huge fireball graphic, and it moved very fast, at selos speed. After luclin got released, flamebolt got a new mechanic where you were no longer able to see the bolt of flame moving.

The dmg was also instant, it didn't take 2-4 seconds for the damage to register, as it's doing here on the emu.
