Cone of Lightning causes a bolt of Lightning to arc to every opponent in the room. It's a very powerful spell in rooms full of creatures, as the damage it causes is equivalent to that of Major Shock (910), a Wizard's most powerful bolt spell.

In addition, Cone of Lightning is player safe and only targets creatures, making it particularly useful when others are around, unlike spells such as Implosion (720) or Meteor Swarm (525). However, due to Cone of Lightnings potential power, there are several creatures that can reflect the spell so that it targets all the players in the room. An example of such a creature is the wind witches near Solhaven. For this reason, it's prudent to be very careful when casting it during invasions.
