    I’ve played stealth games before, I recognize these when I see them:

    1. Standard bolt
    2. Frog bolt for underwater use
    3. Crystal bolt, freezes foe in magic crystal
    4. Leaf bolt, lays out a soft surface to muffle sounds
    5. AP bolt, for heavy armor targets
    6. Fire bolt
    7. Noise maker
    8. Homing bolt
    9. Grappling hook for climbing
    10. Tree bolt, grows trees anywhere you need them
    11. Stun bolt, knocks foes unconscious
    12. Water bolt, splashes torches to douse them

      To preserve more of the meat, I presume. If you gib a bird not much larger than your bolt with a big arrowhead, most of that meat is going to be cut to ribbons and difficult to properly butcher - especially if the bolt penetrates all the way through.
