Description: You create a ball of lightning that strikes your target. The electrical damage of the ball is 1d6 per level to a maximum of 15d6.
Notes[]
- Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
- Instead of a single ball doing up to 15d6 damage, this spell actually creates up to 15 balls that can strike different targets, each doing 1d6 damage.
- This makes ball lightning rather ineffective against creatures with any amount of electrical damage resistance.
- The target selection of this spell is that of the missile storms (except this spell cannot target a location). The lightning balls will be distributed evenly among the potential targets in a gargantuan area, with any excess balls directed at the first target.
Previous versions[]
