How to learn

Classes:

• Class Level 11: Sorcerer, and Wizard

Granted by the following items:

• Markoheshkir ( Recharge: Short rest)

Notes

• Since Patch 6, Chain Lightning cannot be used with  Metamagic: Twinned Spell. However, this restriction does not apply to the version of Chain Lightning granted by Markoheshkir.
• Characters under the effects of an Elixir of Bloodlust can use this spell to gain an additional action point by targeting the spell at an object. When the object "dies" and a living creature is then hit by the same effect, the game gives you an additional action for killing an enemy, as per the Elixir. This also works with Arrow of Many Targets
