[edit] Usage
A more elaborate version of a previous spell, Lightning, Chain Lightning sacrifices a little bit of damage to bounce between multiple enemies, forming a chain of electricity. The skill of choice for the Chain Lightning Sorceress, Chain Lightning is generally a very popular spell among Sorceresses.
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 more accurate in general.
