Lightning Strike (Wizard Spell)

This spell causes a small bolt of lightning 1 inch wide to shoot forth from the caster's out­stretched fingertip, striking the indicated target for 1d6 points of damage for every two levels of the caster (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, etc., to a maxi­mum of 5d6 at 9th level), with the target crea­ture receiving a saving throw vs. spell for half damage. The bolt can be forked, striking two creatures within 10 feet of each other for the full effect. The lightning strike is not powerful enough to cause structural damage to a building or wooden craft.
The spell is otherwise the same as the third level spell lightning bolt, except that the strike will not rebound off solid materials such as stone walls.
Notes: Very rare spell. Known to be in the Blue Book of Du'Morde, Vol. I. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
