As Crackling Lance was added in Path of Exile’s 3.12 Heist League there’s no one who can vouch for this skill being as good as people think it could be.
Crackling Lance releases a beam which deals lightning damage to enemies in a long area in front of you, and has several smaller beams branch off from it at an angle, hitting more enemies to the sides. Casting the spell while standing still builds intensity, increasing the damage of the beam and reducing its spread.

Crackling Lance Build Guide
Crackling Lance shoots out a wide beam of lightning that has secondary areas of lightning that split off it, striking enemies in a wide spread. Crackling Lance comes with built in Intensity, so each cast builds in damage, while the secondary areas angle in, until all the lightning fires in a single wider beam.
