Description[edit | edit source]

I prescribe the "shock therapy" treatment...

Effect[edit | edit source]

Arcs a bolt of lightning from the caster instantly to their look target. From there, the bolt will arc to another nearby target up to [1 + (2 * Casting Mode)] arcs, reducing the damage to [damage / arcCount+1)] on each arc.

Initial damage is [(Casting Mode^2) + 3]
