Ground Lightning

Abjuration [Electricity]
Level:	Cleric 5, Druid 5
Components:	V, S, F
Casting time:	1 standard action
Range:	Medium (100 ft + 10 ft/level)
Target or Area:	20 ft radius centered on a creature or 5 ft cube
Duration:	10 minutes/level (D)
Saving Throw:	Will negates
Spell Resistance:	Yes

As you finish the spell, a ghostly metal pole appears over the center of the area. The sky lit up and struck the pole with a loud flash and explosive noise!

Upon the casting of this spell, any electrical damage made within a 20 ft radius of the effect is redirected into the center of the effect. It redirects attacks made within or passing through the area of effect. The area or creature targeted is treated as the new area or target for the spell, and they must use their AC or saves against the relevant attack as if they were the target. The spell can be cast on a point in space (treat as a 5 ft cube), but the effect is stationary unless cast on a mobile object. The spell can be centered on a creature, and the effect then radiates from the creature and moves as it moves. An unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell and can use spell resistance, if any.

Casting electrical spells and attacks from within the field is possible, so long as its area of effect does not pass through the field. For example a spellcaster with this spell cast on them could use call lightning to strike targets from afar, but not lightning bolt which emanates from their square.

Focus: An iron rod.
