Galvanic Field is a spell that grants a buff which grants additional shock chance when cast. Upon shocking an enemy, the buff is removed to attach an electric field around the target, which hits a random enemy within its area of effect to deal lightning damage for a duration. The field has increased area of effect and damage based on the magnitude of the shock that was applied.
