Notes

• When twin casting a spell, two separate targets must be chosen. The same creature cannot be targeted twice by the same twinned spell.
• Spells that are able to target multiple creatures cannot be used with Twinned Spell, even if those spells are only used to target one creature. This includes spells such as  Magic Missile and  Eldritch Blast (after 5th level).
• A spell that targets the caster themselves cannot be twinned, even if it only affects the caster.
• Spells that affect an area cannot be twinned. This includes spells like  Ice Knife which are single target but with an additional area of effect. The only exceptions are  Hail of Thorns and  Lightning Arrow.
• Summoning spells cannot be twinned.
• Since Patch 6,  Chain Lightning cannot be twinned. However, this restriction does not apply to the version of Chain Lightning granted by  Markoheshkir.

Bugs

• Due to the lack of a TargetRadius check for projectile spells, Twinned Spell is compatible with the ranged version of certain spells while also being incompatible with the melee version. An example of this is  Ensnaring Strike.
