Chain Lightning              Missile

     Creates an electrical discharge that begins as a single stroke of

            lightning.  The first creature hit will take maximum damage from the

            spell.  The electrical discharge will then arc to the nearest creature

            within five hexes (with a preference for those wearing metal armour).  

            The secondary target will take 1d less damage than the first target.  

            The electrical discharge will then arc to a third target, dealing 2d

             less damage than to the original target and so on until the damage is

             reduced to zero.  Note that this can be a dangerous spell to cast as the

             caster is as vulnerable to the effects as anyone else and the path of

             the chain lightning can be impossible to predict.

     Cost: 2-10, 2 per 1d damage

     Prerequisites: Lightning Bolt

            Items: Staff, wand. or jewelry Mage only. Energy cost to create 800
