[[caption-width:150:I'll shorten the description for you: you're screwed!]]

* One of the standard lightning spells in ''FateNuovoGuerra'' is called this. Genessa is particularly adept at it.

* ''Mabinogi'' has the Lightning bolt skill, which can hit up to 5 targets when fully charged (though it gets weaker with each charged). Also done with the Thunder skill, only without the losing of power.

* Lightning spell in ''{{Fable}}'' turns into this at higher levels.

* In ''Star Wars: Battlefront II'', the primary weapon of the Empire's jetpack-equipped Dark Trooper is a lightning cannon which, to make up for its short range, can charge its shots in order to chain up to two additional nearby targets.

* In ''MagicTheGathering'', the card [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=201126 Chain Lightning]] is an interesting example in that the spell's first target (or the target's owner) gets to choose the next target. As long as each player is willing to spend mana on the spell, the process repeats itself.

* Area of effect shock damage spells on later TheElderScrolls games do this to hit other targets.

** There is also Chain Healing, which functions similiar and does exactly what you think it does.

* Botanica from ''BeastMachines'' has a very powerful lightning attack.

* [[WrenchWench Maggie Weston's]] [[ExoSquad E-Frame]] has a Chain Lighting gun as its AceCustom modification.

* One of the standard lightning spells in ''FateNuovoGuerra'' is called this. Genessa is particularly adept at it.

** Also featured as one of Charlotte's spells in Portrait of Ruin.

* The Zaguruzemu spell in ''GashBell'' had this as one of it's many effects.

* Farseer hero in ''{{Warcraft}} 3'' and the Shaman class in WorldOfWarcraft have chain lightning. After hitting it's initial target, it will jump to the nearest enemy, but each jump reduces the damage it does.

* [[WrenchWench Maggie Weston's]] [[ExoSquad E-Frame]] has a Chain Lighting gun as it's AceCustom modification.

* In ''{{Mabinogi}}'' one of the three basic attack spells is lightning bolt. While at one charge it will only hit one enemy, each additional charge added allows the player to hit one more enemy near it, though it will do less damage each time it jumps. While a player can only charge a spell up to five times, it can work in combination with up to 2 oher players' lightning bolts, allowing one to hit up to fifteen monsters.
