Venombolt is one of two paths an Awakened wand can take toward Poison. A poison bolt spine that matures into pure projectile mastery.
Infusion starts it at +6% Poison Damage, and by Spirit Level 5 it reads +28% Poison Damage, +19% Projectile Damage and +15% Projectile Speed.
From Spirit Level 3 the gear starts firing Arcing Spark on its own — Hits have a 20% chance to arc to a nearby enemy for 150% of the damage. — the same thing Arcing Spark does from a relic.
Poison builds around Venom and the Contagion payoff.
