You create a ball of blue electricity, one foot in diameter, which hovers near your person. The light generated by the electricity is equivalent to a flickering torch. When casting the spell, name aloud those who you wish to not be affected by this spell. Any other creature that comes within 10 ft. of your person who you have not named will be struck by the electrical orb for 1 point of damage per caster level. Having struck a creature, the orb takes the remainder of the round to recharge. If you wish, you may specify a particular creature that the orb will strike (if within range); you may do this at anytime while the spell is active.
Material Component: A sliver of iron from a lightning rod which has been struck by lightning. Toss the metal sliver into the air while you cast the spell. The component is consumed in the casting of the spell.
