From Dragon’s Dogma, the Sacrificial Bolt is a skill that kills off a random pawn to deal damage to a foe. If that were to be remade in RPG Maker MV, the skill effect would be to sacrifice a random ally to deal damage to a foe. The damage dealt and such would be based off of the sacrificed ally’s stats!
