Description:
An electrical discharge strikes a primary target for 1d6+6 electrical damage per caster level, up to a maximum of 20d6+120 at caster level 20. It then arcs to up to 5 other nearby targets hitting each of them with a similar lightning bolt. A successful Reflex save reduces the damage by half.
Note: This spell has a far more limited AOE (roughly the standard AOE area) than other similar level AOE nukes such as Delayed Blast Fireball. That combined with its target limit, can greatly reduce its effectiveness versus very large groups of enemies. Scrolls
