Lightning

Template:LS This spell allows a Sorceress to summon the very power of the heavens and emit a tremendous surge of electrical energy. Creating a channel of lightning directed at her target, she cuts a swath through her opponents with pinpoint accuracy.

• Lightning bolts are size 2, which means that they can collide with more than one target simultaneously. Although Last Collide is enabled, since bolts are not destroyed upon collision a single bolt can collide alternately with two adjacent targets, potentially applying its lightning damage twice to each target before it is out of range.

• Synergy bonuses don't apply to minimum lightning damage.
