This came up last night.

When using Bolt and casting more than one Bolt, do you:

a) roll Spellcasting once and apply the results to each target individually?

-or-

b) roll one Spellcasting die per Bolt (with only one Wild Die, of course)?

I ruled b), and am certain of it, but couldn't find an absolute confirmation in the book.

You were correct; "b" is the right way to resolve them.

It's one of the reasons why AB: Magic can suffer wounds from multiple Backlash results (in the core rules, that only really happens with Bolt where multiple Spellcasting dice are rolled in one action).
