So if we're using ground-to-sky lightning, does that mean we can use it in subterranian areas? You could cast it on a target, electrically charging it, and then it would discharge into the surrounding stonework. For visual effect, the spell could lift the target off the ground and sparks fly out in all directions into the walls (at higher levels).
The only problem with being able to target trees and rocks is that it could become very difficult to target an enemy in a forest. I like the idea, don't get me wrong. I haven't played Divine Divinity as a Wizard yet. Am I right in saying you can target anywhere and the spell simply moves in a projectile fashion until it hits something? If so, you could target the base of the tree or rock to strike it.
Thoughts?
