===In Other Games===
Electrocute is an updated version of [[Diablo II]]'s {{iw|Sorceress Sorceress}} skill {{iw|Chain_Lightning Chain Lightning}}, but with more of a Dungeons & Dragons inspiration.
==Trivia==
This spell was originally more inspired by [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/chainLightning.htm Chain Lightning] from Dungeons & Dragons, but later changed to a completely new design, electrocuting one target at a time.
