Finger of the Mountain: Release a beam of charge that ricochets between targets for 50 damage per second to health and magicka. You also take a small amount of backlash damage while channeling the spell.
This mod adds this one new spell and a tiny unmarked location where you can learn it, themed after the spell of the same name and the quest to get it from Oblivion. The spell has the correct keywords to work correctly with the majority of perk overhauls. Vanilla textures and meshes are used, so it should benefit from any mods you have to improve shock effects.
I've uploaded an image with the correct place marked on the map. If you've played the Oblivion quest it may be obvious what you need to do to learn the spell; the location also has some environmental clues. Make a quick save before trying it out, and let me know if you have any problems!
Walkthrough:
The spell itself is essentially an expert-level concentration chain lightning spell. Versus a single enemy the cost to damage ratio is worse than vanilla spells like Lightning Storm, but Finger of the Mountain can affect a pretty good number of enemies simultaneously. (Pro tip: if you're bad at aiming like me, you can cast it on the ground near enemies and it'll chain up and hit them.)

Show
- Location is on the mountaintop west of Mount Anthor, on the other side of the peak near the quicksilver ore vein and Dwemer pillars. Link to UESP map centered on the location.
- There you'll find a Nordic statue with a small shock orb hovering over it and a burned corpse.
- To learn the spell, cast any shock spell on the statue. The corpse has a staff of lightning bolt on it, if you don't know one.
- Dodge or survive the shock spell the statue casts at you!
