firebolt

Blazing sky streak

A firebolt is a bolt or shaft of fire—lightning conceived as a flaming projectile hurled from the sky: A firebolt split the ancient oak.

The word appears in fantasy literature and games for magical attacks combining fire and projectile force.

It echoes thunderbolt but emphasizes flame over electricity.
