Crackling Lance explained


While you casting Crackling Lance you will start gaining Intensify Support granting 45% more damage per stack. This can be stacked up to 3 by default, if you using the caster mastery you can increase this number to 4.

Your spell is also changing how its functioning. Without any stacks you realese a lot of beams that is covering a very large area in front of you. When you gaining stacks the beam reducing its spread. Making your character shoot out a big laser.
