Dirty Little Phased Bolt
itemCompletely invisible phased crossbow bolt that hides its entry point until touched. Applies Temporary Amnesia and Suffering Bleed effects, reducing health dramatically; appears as broken shaft when examined.
The Dirty Little Phased Bolt emerges in book 3 of Dungeon Crawler Carl as a sinister stealth projectile designed for assassins and crawlers alike. Its invisibility and delayed wound revelation make it a game-changer in close-quarters combat, inflicting Temporary Amnesia alongside a devastating Suffering Bleed that drains health rapidly. Appearing only as a broken shaft upon inspection, the bolt forces victims and allies to probe wounds manually, turning every hit into a tactical nightmare. Across the series it remains a specialized tool whose full potential is hinted at through its phased mechanics and status effects.
