Load Rapid Shot
Load your Crossbow with a large clip of heated bolts. Heat builds up on your Crossbow as you fire them, and reaching maximum Heat will prevent you from firing or reloading these bolts for a short time. However, other Skills can Consume Heat for extra benefits. Using this Skill again reloads the clip.
