A more elaborate version of a previous spell,, Chain Lightning sacrifices a little bit of damage to bounce between multiple enemies, forming a chain of electricity. It is the skill of choice for the Chain Lightning Sorceress.

Although not as damaging as Lightning, it has the potential to be far more cost-efficient. Since the Chain Lightning bounces between a multitude of enemies, both close and far, as opposed to a simple straight line, Chain Lightning has the potential to be much more accurate in general. The skill continues to gain new bounce per every 5 skill levels even after it has reached level 20 (at level 30 it gets 11 bounces, at 35 it gets 12, etc.). Bounce gain benefits from "soft points" too.
