>>What about CL though? Or maybe it was old CL? I recall reading posts that even if the first 15 bolts missed, gradually the nerve damage would get to the point where the bolts would hit?

Neither version of Chain Lightning inflicted nerve damage for a miss. The old version inflicted a large amount of nerve damage even if the spell only grazed the target, which always resulted in complete paralysis in 4-6 hits. Combined with the immense penalty to Evasion for nerve damage, this resulted in scenarios where one bolt would get a lucky hit and subsequent bolts would annihilate the target. The new version inflicts nerve damage based on the amount of damage caused.
