Spells that create lightning effects.

Lightning Bounce is a projectile modifier type spell that adds a bounce effect to projectiles that releases a lightning bolt each time they bounce. It also adds one (extra) bounce - so projectiles that do not normally bounce will do so. The explosion damage is substantial, and is friendly fire enabled so will hurt you without Explosion Immunity. Similarly to Ball Lightning, this is a lightning based explosion and so cannot be removed using Remove Explosion. Enemies killed by lightning bounce grant Trick kills

Tips

• The electric and explosion damage stats (and radius) are for the extra projectile emitted on each bounce.
• The lightning bolts created by Lightning Bounce go through terrain, this synergizes well with Unstable Crystal and Dormant Crystal which keep bouncing by themselves, but cannot be hit by the lightning bolts they create.
• This spell compares very favourably with Lightning Bolt on a mana/damage basis, especially used with projectiles with high bounce count.
• Bouncing can be detrimental to certain spells, like Energy Orb, since they will be much harder to detonate where you want them to.
