//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
//:: In Game Spell desctiption
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
    Evocation [Electricity]
    Level: Air 6, Sor/Wiz 6
    Components: V, S, F
    Casting Time: 1 standard action
    Range: Long (40M)
    Targets: One primary target, plus one secondary target/level, within a 10M radius.
             Enemies only, Creatures first.
    Duration: Instantaneous
    Saving Throw: Reflex half
    Spell Resistance: Yes

    This spell creates an electrical discharge that begins as a single stroke
    commencing from your fingertips. Unlike lightning bolt, chain lightning
    strikes one object or creature initially, then arcs to other targets.

    The bolt deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum
    20d6) to the primary target. After it strikes, lightning can arc to a number
    of secondary targets equal to your caster level (maximum 20). The secondary
    bolts each strike one target and deal half as much damage as the primary one
    did (rounded down).

    Each target can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage. You choose
    secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 30 feet of the
    primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. You can choose
    to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum.

    Focus: A bit of fur; a piece of amber, glass, or a crystal rod; plus one
    silver pin for each of your caster levels.

//:: Spell Effects Applied / Notes
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
    Say, 20d6 to primary target, it'd be 10d6 to all secondary ones.

    As spell, mainly copied a bit from bioware as its the same way Id to it.

    Note that it has more "advanced" targeting: if we target a door, all doors
    in the area are hit before other things, while the same is in the case of
    placables and creatures.
