lightning skill- charged spike

An idea I had for a lightning spell. Lightning is still the most limited in terms of spells, and Glacial Cascade shows GGG is willing to mix elements in spells, so this is the idea.

Charged Spike
Shoot a metal spike out that embeds in struck monsters or walls, doing low physical damage to enemies. Shortly after a bolt of lightning shoots from the caster to the rod, hitting any monsters in between for lightning damage. If the spike hits nothing then no lightning bolt follows.

Support gem interactions-
has tags "lightning, spell, physical, projectile"

Is a projectile so lmp/gmp/fork/pierce/chain will work.
Due to the mechanic pierce might be an interesting support, especially in enclosed areas.
When chained, the lightning will shoot to each chained monster in succession.

+1 to this idea. Options for lightning spells seem so limited.. and this would make a flavourful and interesting addition.
So it works a bit like a stun gun. Nice idea!
