Lightning Strike of Arcing

AttackProjectileMeleeStrikeLightningChaining

Overview

Infuses your melee weapon with electrical energies as you swing. In addition to converting some of your physical damage to lightning damage, the stored energy is released from the weapon as a projectile as you strike, flying out to hit farther-away enemies and chain between them. The projectile cannot miss if the melee attack hit a target.
