Quick, jagged motions by the caster's arms begin this
spell. If successful, powerful electricity charges well up within the caster
(doing no harm other than making his hair stand up). He may then cast a
lightning bolt for each of the next few rounds, and each bolt has a damage
value equal to the effect value of the Original casting. To hit the target, the
mage must make an alteration total that exceeds the target's Dexterity
or dodge. This is a separate roll and has nothing to do with the
initial success roll of the spell.
