'''Shock Pulse''' (known as [[Charged Bolt]] prior to July 2011) is a Primary [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 3, launching electric charges that travel randomly on the floor, dealing lightning damage.

==Background==
The true essence of Electromagnetism exists on the threshold of the Ethereal and the Physical Realms. While it is very efficient to transform [[Mana]] into electrical energy, it is extremely difficult to control. This [[spell]] calls into being multiple pockets of lightning which seem to have a will of their own.
At [[BlizzCon 2010]], it was still in the game but wasn't one of the Wizard's starting skills. For the [[July 2011 Press Event]], this skill was renamed Shock Pulse and became a level 3 skill.
When the [[beta]] started, Shock Pulse became a level 5 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]]in February 2012, and Shock Pulse was classified as a Primary skill and moved back to level 3.
