returnfire/get hit columns are up to you (do you want each bolt to cause a counter and the get hit animation?)
Skill column set to the name of your skill (in this case, Thunder Burst)
Skills.txt:
copy frozen orb line (or any spell line really) and change the server and client missile to thunderburst.
adjust the mana cost, cooldown and damages till you are happy. ( i removed the cooldown and kept the damage reasonably low given the number of bolts, it looks good when spammed)
remember to change the damage to ltng and remove the values in Elen columns
Create your skill description in skilldesc.txt (just copy frozen orb and add a line saying it gets stronger the closer the enemy is to the center.
done.
What this does is, fires off missiles in all directions, the range of the missiles is about the same as the seek range, so the closer to the center the enemy is, the more bolts are in range and will be attracted to it. If an enemy is outside the area they can still be hit if they are in range but they will take alot less damage than when in the center.
