Reworded it from ...1 damage to the target creature's controller.... to....1 damage to you.... as playtesting saw this cast on opponent's attackers as potentially lethal burn (which isn't what it was intended to do).
It is an homage to Blaze of Glory obviously.
Red instant speed Lure that can allow your other creatures to get into the red zone. As with many red cards, it is risky though as this deals damage after blockers are assigned but before combat damage. If you're not careful you can kill yourself or leave yourself very vulnerable with this card; but who ever said Red was Careful???
Why isn't this a Sorcery? Being able to cast this as a combat trick, pre-declaration of blockers, doesn't seem worth the complexity points...

An homage to Chain Lightning & Comet Storm and of course Lightning Bolt
