Affinity

Level I	Damage +5
Level II	Mana cost -5
Level III	Amount +5 mana cost

A level marked mana cost does not do what its name says: the game adds this to the spell's mana cost, not to its amount.

Affinity is a spell's own mastery level and it carries between runs. Each level is applied on top of the ones below it. How affinity is earned.

Prestige options

Taking one of these cards from a boss chest changes how the spell behaves for the rest of that run. You pick one.

Dark Lightning

Your Chain Lightning becomes drawn out. Dark Lightning deals DoT to affected monsters over 10 seconds, chaining to new monsters when the original target dies.

Disintegration Ray

Chain Lightning channels all its energy into a single beam of energy. Disintegration Ray damages all monsters in a line, centered where you place your spell sigil.

Twin Lightning

You only need one hand for each Chain Lightning. Duplicate the spell and fire an additional Chain Lightning at the strongest monster on the battlefield.
