Fork
Fork is a behaviour of projectiles that causes them to split into two identical projectiles when they hit a target.
Mechanics
A projectile can Fork after it collides with an enemy for the first time and does not split or pierce. If the projectile forks, it's divided into two projectiles which continue travelling at 60 and -60 degree angles from the projectile's original trajectory.
A projectile can only fork once unless it is supported by Awakened Fork SupportAwakened Fork SupportSupport, Projectile

Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality:

Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket.. Fork can make projectiles travel further than the projectile maximum travel distance of 15 meters since the forked projectiles count as new instances of movement. [1].
Only one projectile behaviour can be applied each time a projectile hits a target. Fork has third priority for projectile behaviours, preceded by #1 Split, #2 pierce, and followed by #4 chain and #5 return. This means that if you had split, pierce, chain, and fork supporting the same skill, it would first split from the monster, then pierce to it's maximum number of pierces, then fork, then chain to its maximum number of chains.
Projectiles apply their on-hit effects to each target they fork on or otherwise hit. For example, Essence DrainEssence DrainSpell, Projectile, Duration, Chaos, AoE
