This is an advanced level spell of the lightning blast spell. It will shoot a powerful bolt of lightning at one enemy group causing heavy lightning damage, leaving it in state of shock which will hinder it's ability to fight. After that, it will split into secondary lightning bolts which will sweep through the battlefield, harming everything in their way. This spell is very effective against massive amounts of weak units, although it has to be used with care. Area of effect: all enemy units.

Cast as a nether

Name - # of Units Attack Counter Hit point
Skeleton 815846 115 46 87
Wraith 8947 1380 0 1250
Zombie 140949 241 34 212
Pikeman 49500 110 44 108


weaver (#2239)'s 128657 Skeletons are slain.
weaver (#2239)'s 98 Wraiths are slain.
weaver (#2239)'s 9121 Zombies are slain.
weaver (#2239)'s 6288 Pikemen are slain.

CL damage
11 193 159 to skele = 13.7196 per skel
00 122 500 to wraith = 13.69 per wraith
01 933 652 to zombie = 13.7188060 per zombie
00 679 104 to pikeman = 13.71 per pikeman

I guess does 13.7 damage per unit to each stack.

Notes

  • Before 2007, this spell targeted all units (yours + enemy's). [1]


Data on this page needs confirmation

Given the nature of equations used to calculate the power of direct damage stacks, I would estimate the damage Chain Lightning deals is dictated by the following formula:

Spell Level * X * # of units in the stack

Where X is equal to: (Not sure whether this Nether had Magic favor. I am assuming he cast it with a base 470 Spell Level. The first number is without Magic favor, second is with. This coefficient is theorized to be 50% of on-color size for off-color casters, and 25% of on-color size for opposing color casters).

On-Color: .0582 or .0558 Off-Color: .0291 or .0279 Opposing Color: .01455 or .01395

Keep in mind that this is unconfirmed.
