Does the electro leap generated off of a magic weapon have the magic damage type(ex Jakes2)? I thought not but was hoping someone could confirm.

Nope. Electro-leaps/lightning generator do not pick up the weapon properties they are on.

Chain lightning also does not specify unboostable, so you can Boost those back rank hits!

The bounces from chain lightning etc. aren't derived from a separate rule like electro-leap, so they maintain their magical properties.

What specific model/unit are you asking about? Storm lances have a similar thing inthier description that says the damage is lightning

What specific model/unit are you asking about? Storm lances have a similar thing inthier description that says the damage is lightning This basically has two ways its breaks down: 1. If the jumps are part of the ability/spell's text initial text, the jumps are magical (i.e. it does not reference electro-leap/lightning generator in any way). 2. If the ability/spell grants electro-leap or lightning generator, the jumps are not magical (although the initial hit is). The units involved don't really make a difference as a result. So you end up with cases like Chain Lightning where all hits are magical, while Lightning Tendrils cast on a model with a magic weapon only has the initial hit as magical, while the leaps are mundane electricity damage rolls. It's not necessarily intuitive, but that's how the rules work. |

Ability/spell text matters

Yeah - that's the way I've always seen it. Electroleaps and lightning generator are not magical, but a chain lightning spell is on every leap. That counts for Nemo or Orrin casting chain lightning.
Only 80% sure about the following: If Arlan or an objective makes a stormclad's weapon magic, the e-leaps still aren't. And leaps created through Nemo's lightning shroud spell are likewise not magic attacks. That is, they are not magic and also do not count as attacks.
