Bolt

Overview

Bolt has a few of meanings:

1. In World of Warcraft it almost always means a roll of cloth processed by a tailor.
2. Sometimes it can refer to an item associated with lightning, as in a bolt of lightning.
3. In other games, a crossbow (ranged weapon) might use ammo with this name. In World of Warcraft, crossbows use arrows.

4. Bolt- Traditionally means a single-target,direct damage, ranged, cast-time (or sorcery) spell, that is not channelled. Also, a physical shot that meets the above criteria also is a bolt. The only exceptions to the rule are that hybrid spells (those with both a DOT and a DD component) and multipile target spells that bounce off of a single target or otherwise do not use an area of effect also count.

Bolts of Cloth

A Bolt of Cloth is used by tailors. They get various amounts of normal cloth and can convert it into a bolt, used in almost all tailoring recipes.  [Felcloth] is a special cloth, however - two of them every four days at a moonwell can be turned into  [Mooncloth] as opposed to a Bolt of Felcloth (non-existant).
