Pale yellow, crackling aura gathers in your hand and leaps, forming a bolt of lightning that blasts out from you toward a target of your choice that you can see within range.
Three bolts then leap from that target to as many as three other targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted by only one of the bolts.
A target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 10d8 Lightning Damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At higher ranks: When you cast this spell as a spell of 7th rank or higher, one additional bolt leaps from the first target to another target for each rank above 6th.
