How do I create a chain lightning? As in a bolt that hits a target, then spreads to other targets. Kinda like the Electromancer's Chain Lightning in Mazz 5. Help would be highly appreaciated.

Have a projectile being shot detonate on impact as an Alric Magic Sword Attack (I think that's what it's called).

if you really want to learn how they work look at the tags for alric's dispersal dreams or balmung attacks.

basically it starts with an initiator(either a lightning, melee attack centered on target or a projectile) which then detonates to a lightning which find nearest target which detonates to itself and so on untill there is either nobody left to hit.
