Lightning Splash

Lightning Splash: Create a nexus of storm energy at the target location, dealing [448 / 455 / 456 / 465] Shock Damage to enemies in the area every 1 second for 10 seconds. An ally standing within the nexus can activate the ​ Conduit synergy, dealing 3003 Shock Damage to enemies around them.

Liquid Lightning: Duration: [11 / 12 / 13 / 14] seconds.
Create a nexus of storm energy at the target location, dealing 461 Shock Damage to enemies in the area every 1 second for [11 / 12 / 13 / 14] seconds. An ally standing within the nexus can activate the ​ Conduit synergy, dealing 3003 Shock Damage to enemies around them.

Lightning Flood: Radius: 6 meters.
Create a nexus of storm energy at the target location, dealing [559 / 565 / 572 / 578] Shock Damage to enemies in the area every 1 second for 10 seconds. An ally standing within the nexus can activate the ​ Conduit synergy, dealing 3003 Shock Damage to enemies around them.

Lightning Splash calls down a bolt of lightning dealing Shock Damage to all enemies within its radius for 3 seconds. Allies may activate the ​ Conduit synergy, dealing even more damage to enemies near them. It is most effective against archers, spellcasters, and other ranged attackers, who are less likely to move out of the affected area. It is also effective when combined with spells which knock down or root the enemy to prevent them from moving out of the area. Liquid Lightning increases the duration, while Lightning Flood increases the radius of effect.

Notes

• Only one Lightning Splash may be active at a time. Casting a second one will cause the first to expire early. It can be useful if the enemies are no longer within range of the first strike zone. Otherwise, however, you should just wait until the first finishes on its own to receive the full effect and conserve Magicka.
• Lightning Flood is a recommended morph for the Sorcerer Initiate build.
