Description[]
Upon casting this spell, the wizard releases a powerful stroke of energy that inflicts 1d6 points of electrical damage per level of the spellcaster to each creature within its area of effect (maximum damage of 10d6). A successful Save vs. Spell reduces this damage to half (round fractions down). When the lightning bolt intersects with a wall, it will rebound until it reaches its full length—hitting the same enemy multiple times, or even members of the caster's own party.
Notes[]
- The Lightning Bolt has a range of 10 ft. for every level of the caster. For example, at caster level 9, the bolt will reach up to 90 ft. in length before its energy dissipates.
