Ball Lightning

== /// SUMMARY ==
The Ball Lightning is a mage spellbook that summons a floating ball of lightning which will deal electric damage to the closest enemy inside its range, occasionally chaining to other nearby enemies. It is unlocked at Wave 10 and is purchasable with $4,000.
==/// MECHANICS==
When Ball Lightning is used with [LMB], it will summon a ball of lightning that travels at 10 studs/s for 20 seconds across a fixed direction. A large bubble will visibly surround the ball, visually functioning as the ball's range. The ball of lightning will strike the closest enemy that is inside the bubble, dealing electric damage, with a chance of the lightning then chaining to other nearby enemies after the initial strike. Chaining can extend to enemies that are outside of the bubble.
Direct lightning strikes from the ball of lightning bypass through enemy shields and deal 50% more damage, while chaining strikes instead bypass through enemy resistances. However, the chaining lightning strikes will also deal 25% less damage for each chained enemy.
Notably, the lightning strikes that occasionally chain between enemies will only be able to contribute 75% of their damage, resulting in slightly less rewards if they occur. The main lightning strikes that target one enemy at a time can contribute 100% of their damage.
Additionally, Ball Lightning is affected by various stats of the user. It also has a unique interaction with the Tempest's tornadoes: see the TORNADO OF LIGHTNING section for Tempest.

==/// STRATEGY==
#Being an AoE-type spellbook, the user will make most use of Ball Lightning by targetting groups of enemies.
#Take care not to send a ball of lightning into the ground when using Ball Lightning, as this will reduce its effectivity. Aim slightly above the enemies if they're on the ground.
