Vaal Arc
Vaal Arc is a vaal spell that launches a chaining lightning arc at the target that lasts until no valid target remains or all chains are used up.
Skill Functions and Interactions
Although Vaal Arc chains, it is similar to Arc in that it's not a projectile and therefore does not benefit from projectile-specific modifiers on gear, passives and skill gems.
