What Elemental Reach does in Classic Era

Forever changed this talent. The Classic Era wording is kept here rank for rank so the two can be read side by side. In Classic Era it is called Storm Reach.

Rank 1 Increases the range of your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells by 3 yards.
Rank 2 Increases the range of your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells by 6 yards.
