Format: c 'chain lightning' victim

An electric discharge starts darting around the room, damaging enemies. And also everyone and everything, caught in the hot... hmm... lightning. Better used on a group of creatures.

The first strike deals damage only. Every later strike, even one that jumps back to the first victim, shocks just like by lightning bolt: paralysis on a failed spell defense check and damage to gear (wands and staves explode, soft metals melt, metal heats up red-hot, a strong shock knocks a metal weapon out of the hand). Fireproof items are immune.
