This spell will send lightning onto your enemies that will bounce from target
to target.  First target additional damage is level die (8+(caster levels above 50) / 10). 
Damage decreases by 5 levels and 1 die for every additional target in the chain.
If the chain bounces back to someone who has already been hit they take 10%
additional damage. If they save they take 75% of that. At higher levels you 
can create multiple simultaneous chains based on your caster levels above 50 / 2.

USAGE: chain <target>
