Those unenchanted focused bolts don't have an associated element - so effective resistance is 0% (ie 100% of power into damage) - so compared to an equivalent focused bolt it's 2x more powerful.

Furthermore if the factors given here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EBa1CNhY9LXq7qbyV6Gj4jxBmHSbc3ASp3rIrBrAxpI/edit#gid=1579360883 are correct then


 * (plain) Focused bolt scales with 60% base and 50% weapon magick

but


 * (Holy) Focused bolt scales with 40% base and 40% weapon magick

So that means if holy resistance is normal then the unenchated bolt will be a little more powerful (obviously the reason holy focused bolt is usually much better is 1. Holy weakness 2. Magick boost from enchantment 3. hits at least twice per bolt if done right)
