This spell releases a burst of electrical energy at a target; unlike the Lightning Bolt spell, however, once the bolt strikes the initial target, the electricity then jumps to the next nearest enemy doing significant, but less damage. The bolt initially inflicts 1-6 hit points of electrical damage/level of the caster, to a maximum of 20d6 points of damage. The bolt will jump to a number of other monsters equal to the caster's level inflicting half as much possible damage. A 19th level caster will hit the initial target for 19d6 worth of damage, while all subsequent targets will take 9d6 points of damage.
