Lightning bolt that does 40 points of shock damage to Health and half to Magicka, then leaps to a new target.

Staff of Chain Lightning is a Staff in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Staves are special weapons imbued with various Enchantments, allowing wielders to cast Spells without using Magicka. Instead, Staves use up their enchantment charges with every use but can be recharged with the use of Soul Gems. Staff of Chain Lightning's effects are governed by the Destruction school of Magic and its charge usage can be reduced by leveling up the Destruction skill. Combined with the Fortify Destruction enchantment applied to Armor, it is feasible to reach 100% charge reduction on this weapon.

  

Staff of Chain Lightning Effect Details in Skyrim

Staff of Chain Lightning has the following special effect(s):

"Lightning bolt that does 40 points of shock damage to Health and half to Magicka, then leaps to a new target."

This Staff's enchantment functions similarly to the Destruction spell Chain Lightning, hurling a lightning bolt at a target or location which then continues to bounce around nearby targets, dealing damage to health and half of that to magicka. It can be cast on the ground or other surfaces in order to hit targets hiding behind walls and other obstructions.

The amount of Charge consumed by this Staff's usage can be reduced by leveling up the Destruction school of magic.
