Flavor
The caster's hand crackles with stored charge, discharging into the first thing it touches.
Mechanics
Charges the caster's hand for 1 / until it strikes. A successful touch attack delivers 1d8 + 1 per caster level electrical (single discharge, expending the spell). Especially effective against metal-armored or water-immersed targets (DM). The charge holds until a touch lands or the duration ends.
