Does the initial target of my spellshot take the damage from Arcing surge? or does it only affect other enemies that are in the line of effect?
I guess I'm wondering since the creature I hit is the new "point of origin" Does that mean it doesn't take the damage? If that's the case, I'm way better off going with Explosive blasts or some other Radius spell right?

Actually, it's up to you.
When your character cast a cone or line effect, you start it from one of your character corners and it extends away from you. That's why you are not affected, because you are not in the area of effect.
In case of Spellshot, you start it from one of the target corners and it extends in whatever direction you choose. So, you can either include or exclude the target from your area by the choice of corner/direction.
