Damage/Effect
Lightning (...)
You create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Five bolts then leap from that target to as many as Five other targets, each of which must be within 25 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted by only one of the bolts.
A target must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 10d20 lightning and necrotic damage on a failed save and also becomes paralyzed on a failed save, or half as much damage and doesn't become paralyzed on a successful one.
