Notes
- Since Patch 6, Chain Lightning cannot be used with
. However, this restriction does not apply to the version of Chain Lightning granted by 
Markoheshkir. - Characters under the effects of an
Elixir of Bloodlust can use this spell to gain an additional action point by targeting the spell at an object. When the object "dies" and a living creature is then hit by the same effect, the game gives the caster an additional action for killing an enemy, as per the Elixir. This also works with 
Arrow of Many Targets. - The DC of the saving throw to reduce damage from the lightning chains uses the spellcasting modifier of the most recently acquired spellcasting class, rather than the spellcasting modifier that was used for the initial casting of Chain Lightning.
