Chain Lightning

Evocation [Electricity]
Level:	Air 6, Sor/Wiz 6
Components:	V, S, F
Casting time:	1 action

The bolt deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 20d6) on the primary target. After the bolt strikes, lightning can arc to as many secondary targets as the character has levels. The secondary bolts each strike one target and deal half as many dice of damage as the primary (rounded down). All subjects can attempt Reflex saving throws for half damage. The character chooses secondary targets as the character likes, but they must all be within 30 feet of the primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. The character can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum.
