Sadness

I completely disagree. Chain Lightning certainly appears more often, but despite that, it's rarely used because Mass Slow, Mass Haste, and far more useful spells exist (Solsmyr we'll consider an exception). And if it does come down to using Chain Lightning, chances are there's a Helm somewhere or someone has it. So there's more talk about the Helm as a helmet than about Chain Lightning.
Online, Chain Lightning is seen only on XL maps; on small and similar "elf" maps, Mass Slow, Mass Haste, and other useful spells are used and demanded much more frequently. And you crack open one or two Dragon Utopias — and lo and behold, the Helm might drop. ;-) I've been playing Heroes 3 since '99, and as long as I can remember, I always called it the "Teapot" (Helm), and only later, when I got to the internet, I confirmed the well-deserved name for the SHP — the Teapot Helm or simply Teapot.
At any rate, unlike Chain Lightning, it actually looks like a teapot. :D
