[Stormbringer] Flux Arc reworked, now causes Forked Lightning to mark targets, marked targets explode for percentage of received damage from your Call Lightning.(note: While original Flux Arc was effective and simple, it did not support your loop of building/spending Static. With this version you can now effectively build Static using Forked Lightning and use Call Lightning to contribute to AOE damage.

[Stormbringer] Forked Lightning is now a linear spell in front of you instead of a wide cone.
