 * description	= You release a powerful bolt of electrical energy that deals 1d3+3 points of electricity damage per caster level (Maximum damage 10d3+30.) to each target in its path. A successful Reflex save reduces the damage by half. For each enemy this spell strikes it has a 50% chance to fork, replicating the spell's effect on that target. This can only happen once. This spell is a bolt and has double range.

Tips

 * In DDO, it is quite difficult to hit any more than one target at a time with a lightning bolt. The best way to hit multiple targets in a line is to target the creature farthest away. Other 3rd level spells are better choices for damage, unless the electricity energy type is particularly needed. On the other hand, enemy casters with Lightning Bolt can be very dangerous, and often warrant the use of an Resist Energy or Protection from Energy spell.
