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.
