To make it unique, its total damage to the affected buildings is much less than that of the lightning spell, (there's no purpose in having a spell that's purpose is to do more damage than the lightning spell) HOWEVER, it's radius is larger than the lightning spell, and it does 2x damage to support buildings. This would be a spell useful for the higher leagues, allowing armies to skip by some support structures and get to the defenses quicker. Of course, one spell of this type would probably not take out barracks and army camps by itself, but weakening them gives attackers an edge to try to plow through them for that 50%, or to get to storages, etc....
