On occasion Chainlightning appears to ignore all other targets, and instead strike the same target numerous times, Instantly killing them. Seeing as this does 100+ damage, I consider it a bug.

How to replicate?
Both times Iv'e experienced this, A group of 2-4 hostiles, in a party; Approach my group of 1-3, all partyed. Right before combat ensues, a chainlightning is cast and the target alone is struck by a singular bolt, multiple bolt sounds are heard, the target is instantly killed.

This bug is nearly gamebreaking, having it effected me twice, and a friend, Chaosfusion, in three days.

I've noticed it do that - but it only seems to bounce when you are within 3 blocks of the person otherwise it appears to bounce onto the single target I guess in theory its "bouncing" off the caster

This definitely needs to be resolved - we can't have EpicPoodles spamming lightning and killing everyone in one go.

I've also had this happen to me and my friends many times- namely by Gooscar.

Very frustrating.
