Chain Lightning

Spell effects
Chain Lightning is a directional bolt of electrical damage dealing an almost instant 850 damage (1,700 if the target is wet) to *number* targets

Pros

 * Very easy element combination
 * Extremely reliable damage and stun
 * Can be safely used around friendly targets as long as there aren't enough targets for the damage to reach them and it is directed away from them
 * Just like any lightning spell, it can be used to effectively heal friendly wizards wearing Cyber Robes.
 * An almost foolproof way to turn the tides on a group swarming you is to use (+area), dry yourself if necessary, and repeatedly casting Chain Lightning

Cons

 * The first target must be moderately close
 * Possibly dangerous in multiplayer

Trivia

 * The In-Game description for the spell has a typo: Several foes in need "of" shock therapy?
 * The description is shockingly reminiscent of the plasmid advertisements in the Bioshock series where they ask questions and present their spell as the answer, as if they are selling it to you
 * In the picture, the affected wizard is holding a sausage.
