    Well, the DM changed the amount of damage it does after he thought about
it awhile.  Instead of 2 * level, it is only 1 * level, which is 10 points for
me.  I didn't mind, as it's still powerful enough for me.
    I got to use it this weekend to very good effect.  We were set upon by a
group of several ogres, and I cast my spell in the first round.  The fight  
lasted about 4 more rounds, and during that time, the Electrification was
responsible for about 20 hp. of damage per round.  Usually the ogre which
attacked me took 10hp as it attacked and 10hp as I attacked.  
    Lasko also mentioned that he wouldn't let a Ring of Invisibility work
at the same time as this spell.  I'm not sure why not.  Mine did, and I
was invisible, and the aura of blue-white crackling sparks around me was
not.  The bad thing about this effect is that I tend to look like some kind
of weird electrical elemental, and intelligent foes will probably tend to
concentrate their attack on me.
