Big Bang: The Ugly Truth

Not exactly. CL is more like the mage version of Iron Arrow, where the damage decreases a certain amount after every monster it hits.

yeah i know what it does, what i mean is this:
use skill -> damage is caused -> static effect triggers where the monsters receive x damage for x time -> monster eventually dies.

but it'd be like poison where it can only drop a monster to 1 HP and not outright kill it with the residual shock damage, only the initial attack or another attack.
