Although Chain Lightning may not be the most damaging of spells (compared to other synergizing spells such as Blizzard or Meteor), and the inconsistency of its damage can be frustrating, Chain Lightning has the advantage of a significantly lower Mana cost, as well as the speed with which the spell does its damage.

Like many Sorceress builds, the CL Sorceress relies heavily on synergies to make her spells do damage. The Chain Lightning Sorceress, sometimes abbreviated as the CL Sorceress, is a Sorceress build that focuses on use of the Chain Lightning Spell.
