Each bolt is AC 14; if successfully struck by any physical blow, it loses some of its volume, attacking as a smaller shark. The bolt still pursues its target, but strikes as a 3HD monster doing half its normal damage. If struck a second time, the bolt dissipates harmlessly. The spell creates a number of bolts equal to one third the caster’s level (round down) to a maximum of 5 sharks.
