# Crackling Lance [[Crackling Lance]] is a spell that fires a wide beam that deals lightning damage. Casting the spell while standing still builds intensity, increasing the damage of the beam and reducing its spread. ## Skill functions and interactions Despite being an Area of Effect skill, effects modifying Crackling Lance behave in a similar way to the beam fired by [[Divine Ire]]: - [[Concentrated Effect Support]]: Neither the beam itself nor the branches have an area to modify, so their range is not reduced. However, their damage is properly multiplied. - [[Increased Area of Effect Support]]: Same as above. The Awakened version of this gem properly multiplies the hit damage. - [[Intensify Support]]: Damage of the skill's hits is modified, but effective range is unchanged. - All other passive effects which apply to AoE radius/etc do not apply to the beam or its branches. As with all spells which can Intensify, the caster cannot gain a stack of Intensity when this spell is repeated (e.g. [[Spell Echo Support]]), triggered, or cast by a totem.
