Caster arcs a volatile bolt of lightning that can rebound from objects.
Make a Spell Attack against the Reflex Defence of every creature and freestanding object in the area.
On a success, the bolt deals 3d6 Lightning damage
On a failure, it deals half that Lightning damage done instead.
When this spell encounters a solid object, such as a wall of stone, it attempts to penetrate it, dealing damage against the health of the object.
The first time the spell encounters a solid object it cannot penetrate, it will rebound from that object at an angle equal to the angle at which it approached the object. (Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection)
If the area of the spell would overlap the same creature or freestanding object multiple times, it deals damage to that creature equal to the number of times it overlaps that creature.
This spell can affect the caster.
Upcast by 1: increase the Lightning damage done by 1d6
Upcast by 2: increase the number of times the spell will rebound from an object it cannot penetrate by 1.
