Spark

Template:Gem Infobox Lightning is a fickle servant. However, skilled casters have learned to harness this frenetic element to devastating effect. With a single incantation, two pulsing strands of electric energy appear, and begin to move erratically around the battlefield. Whenever one contacts an enemy, it discharges, dealing tremendous damage and frequently causing paralysis.

Launches unpredictable sparks that move randomly until they hit an enemy.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Duration: Spark duration determines how long spark projectiles will persist, and is increased by both skill duration passives and support.

Ricochets: Spark projectiles will bounce off of terrain obstructions and edges for as long as they persist. If a spark projectile strikes a mob, it will be absorbed unless it has a chance to pierce.
