Intended spell effect/tooltip: "Sloth slams his chains onto the target point dealing 650/750/850 damage in a 150 area of effect 500 distance away from himself, stunning enemies for 1 second, and knocking the target back towards Sloth. Enemies hit by the giant slam of the chains take full damage, but other enemies between Sloth and the slam take only half the damage, along with no stun or knockback. 20 second cooldown, 600 cast range."
In practice, my spell's hitbox is wildly inaccurate and often doesn't hit when it's supposed to. Here is the trigger.
