Lightning Shaper [Reserve, Spelltouched, Tactical] Prerequisites: Storm Bolt (Complete Mage), Conductivity, Improved Conductivity, must have attempted to redirect a lightning effect with Conductivity while your Storm Bolt was available.Benefit: This feat gives you three tactical options.

Superconductivity: While you have an [Electricity] spell of 3rd level or higher available, you can redirect electrical effects with ease, using the original save DC or 10 + 1/2 HD + highest mental ability score modifier, whichever is higher. Furthermore, your Evasion against [Electricity] effects improves to Improved Evasion (Or immunity if it was already effectively Improved Evasion). Finally, you may add your Storm Bolt damage to the line of electricity you release upon being hit by an [Electricity] effect.
Chainbolt: Your Storm Bolt can arc to as many targets as it has damage dice, as long as each subsequent target is within 20 feet of the previous target. For example, if the damage is based on a 3rd-level spell, the first target is subjected to 3d6 damage, the second is subjected to 2d6 damage, and the third is subjected to 1d6 damage.
Arcane Capacitor: When struck by an electricity effect, you can attempt to absorb it; In doing so, you forfeit your Reflex save against the effect and instead make a Will save against the effect's DC. If the Will save is successful, you absorb the effect, recording the amount of damage dice it dealt and the DC, if any. You can only hold one Electricity effect at a time in this manner, and you can hold it for a maximum of 1 hour per level of the highest-level Electricity spell you have available to cast. After that duration, it fades into nothingness. However, at any time during that duration, when you create an electricity effect - Such as casting an Electricity spell, using your Storm Bolt or redirecting lightning via Improved Conductivity, you may add the damage of the absorbed effect to the damage of the effect you just created, and you may use the DC of the absorbed effect if it was higher than the DC of the effect you just created.
