==Notes==
*Damage dealt per bolt is equivalent to [[Saucegeyser]]
*The number of backup dancers begins at one, increasing to two on the second cast, before reaching three dancers on the third cast
*Three dancers will then be summoned on each subsequent cast in the same combat (i.e. they don't keep dancing if you're not using the spell)
