elemental chance are the most likely to cast a thunder ball


Explanation:
We typically call this a Proc (http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/p/f/what_is_proc.htm), which is when an action as a random chance of causing another action. I think the first "cast" is fine, but the "chance of casting" sounds a little forced to me.
