Lightning Spire Trap is a lightning spell that throws a trap. When activated, the trap spawns a spire that strikes random areas around it for the duration, dealing lightning damage in an area.

Skill functions and interactions

Area of Effect: Area of effect modifiers for Lightning Spire Trap do not increase the overall area of the skill, but rather only scale the radius of the impact sites themselves. Because of this interaction, increased area of effect will increase the amount of overlapping damage zones rather than spread them apart.
