Lightning Conduit

Call down Lightning to hit all enemies in a cone in front of you, dealing significantly more damage to Shocked enemies. If there is a Shocked enemy in the target area, additional lightning bolts are distributed among the targets hit. Targeting close to you will cause you to jump back as you cast.
