Shadow Bolt is a core warlock ability learned at level one that sends a deathbolt or bolt of incindiary energy at enemy targets. For those with the demonology specialization, it also generates 25 Demonic Fury.
Shadow bolt is what necromancy extends to. According to Blizzard Entertainment, warlocks can have necromantic abilities without being necromancers whose discipline is to draw upon the shadowy essence of spirits then channel it as shadow bolts. However, all warlocks seem to be capable of harnessing the black essence of spirits then warping it into shadow bolts.
