give the soc a chain lightning for non blunts (in General)

we almost got a shield mages can use and use well, something jon said would never happen. give me a foot and i will take a leg!

i would like to see a chain lightning type effect implemented for the soc for non-blunt weapon users. so for hammers and maces the effect would stay as is. for all else, it would store as it does now and release a chain lightning spell that damages every minion in front of the minion with the shield, friendlies included.

limits could be imposed to work into jon's damage model as follows, either all or some of them as needed:

it only flashes on certain rounds
it only gives a fraction of the damage back, as opposed to the blunts
its damage is reduced as it goes through targets

even if it only does a small amount of damage, i think it would be a neat addition to dynamics and more tempting than the buckler for non-combat types.

As in a chain lightning charged Fireball?

a way to do this would be to allow the usage of both a melee weapon and DD... for balance's sake, you could subtract ST from the level of the DD or some such? idk, just woke up
