Cost- 2 ST
There has been rumors that a similar spell exists called "Chain Lightning"

It's nice to see a missile spell that can affect multiple targets. However, I'd suggest a casting cost of 3 and IQ for this one--perhaps 15. As written, it deviates from the 1ST/die of damage standard set for missile spells, and the ability to split the attacks to up to three targets is a significant potential advantage. Giving it a higher IQ requirement than Lightning helps to offset that advantage. Alternatively, make it ST 4 at IQ 14, attributing the extra casting cost to the multiple targets. Other than a metagamey playing of the odds, I'm not sure why three rolls to hit one target would be desirable.
