If you're using the TFT World Editor spell editor, then you can't do it. You have a number of options. Open up war3x.mpq in an MPQ extractor such as WinMPQ and extract the file 'Abilities\Weapons\GlaiveMissile\GlaiveMissile.mdx'.
When done enter your map in World Editor and use the import manager to import the file into your map. Right click and change the name/path to 'Abilities\Spells\Orc\LightningBolt\LightningBoltMissile.mdx' ignoring the 's. Save your map and exit World Editor then re-enter it and load your map. It should work, the problem being that Chain Lightening fire a continuous stream.

actually, there is an easier way. just open the mpq and find splats/lightningdata.slk and edit the chainlightning art into what you want it to be

Oh. Yeah.
Sorry, but i've got this thing where I have to do everything the hard way.

I might be wrong though, but I'm not sure if either would work because of the nature of Chain Lightning's art. The arts thats already there is tailored for it but Glaive Thrower art isn't so it mich look wierd or not work at all. But it might work so you might as well try.
If it doesn't work, 'ill post a way to make another missile spell such as storm bolt into a chain lightning style spell.
