Skill functions and interactions

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version's chaining behaviour allows it to chain between two enemies and allows secondary chains to hit enemies that were hit by the main arc. It also has lower base damage and damage effectiveness but has a stronger multiplier for remaining chains.
