Description

You hiss and snarl the sounds of this spell between clenched teeth, hands flailing as you gather up ill-intent out of the wind. You create a massive globe of lightning that flies at the target you choose within range, to whom you have line of sight and line of effect. This is a ray attack, and if you succeed in a ranged touch attack against your target, they suffer (Circle 5 damage): 1d6+1 points of damage per character level (max 15d6+15 at character level 15) of electricity (energy, common) damage. If the touch attack misses, the fierce energy of the ball of lightning grounds out and dissipates harmlessly. A Ball Lightning globe winks out if it exceeds the spell's range.

-| Description = You create two globes of lightning that fly in whichever direction you indicate. For every 4 [[caster level]]s above 7th, you create an additional globe of lightning (3 globes at 11th, 4 globes at 15th, to the maximum of 5 globes at 19th). These globes [[fly]] at a rate of 20 feet per round and have perfect maneuverability. Wind does not affect a flying sphere's course.
+| Description = You hiss and snarl the sounds of this spell between clenched teeth, hands flailing as you gather up ill-intent out of the wind. You create a massive globe of lightning that flies at the target you choose within range, to whom you have line of sight and line of effect. This is a [[ray]] attack, and if you succeed in a ranged touch attack against your target, they suffer {{circle|5}} of {{dmg|electricity}} damage.  If the touch attack misses, the fierce energy of the ball of lightning grounds out and dissipates harmlessly.  A ''Ball Lightning'' globe winks out if it exceeds the spell's range.
-: If a globe enters a space with a creature, it stops moving for the round and deals 3d6 points of [[Electricity Damage]] to that creature, though a successful [[REFL]] save negates the damage. Creatures wearing metal armor take a -4 penalty on this [[saving throw]].
-: Each globe moves as long as you actively direct it (it's a [[move action]] for you to direct all the spheres created by a single casting of this spell); otherwise they stay at rest. These globes have no mass and cannot push aside unwilling creatures or move solid objects. A ''Ball Lightning'' globe winks out if it exceeds the spell's range.
