Name	Show Full Descriptions
Added Lightning Damage Support	Increases the amount of flat lightning damage your Lightning Tendrils does.
Controlled Destruction Support	Grants more spell damage to Lightning Tendrils but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage, not contingent on critical strikes.
Elemental Focus Support	Removes the ability for Lightning Tendrils to inflict elemental ailments, such as shock, on enemies. However, it significantly boosts Lightning Tendril's elemental damage.
Lightning Penetration Support	Reduces enemy resistance to lightning damage, making them take more lightning damage from Lightning Tendrils.
Concentrated Effect Support	Reduces the area of effect of Lightning Tendrils but significantly increases the area damage Lightning Tendrils does. This makes it an excellent choice for difficult individual monsters.
Increased Area of Effect Support	Increases the area of effect of Lightning Tendrils allowing it to hit a greater number of targets at once.
