Electric arc pathfinder 2e

I understand there has been much discussion regarding Electric Arc's range. My understanding is that, RAW, the only requirement is for both targets to be within 30 ft. But sometimes the rules are debated in-game, and I've had a GM outright rule out the second target within 30ft. I hate to drag a game down, so I'm more than happy to let it slide, but it would be nice if there was some official word on the ruling so we could link it when the discussion inevitably comes up. Was there any official word on it that I've missed? I don't think one exists an official ruling. I have a GM who runs it the other way creatures must be within 30' of each other , and that's fine, but I'm of the opinion that RAW only requires 30' from you. The arc can go from any point to any point within the range. In essence, it allows connecting any two squares in a 65' x 65' area 30' range from caster. The rules only require you to measure the range to each target from the caster and if both are within 30', it works. You could have have 1 target be 30' north and the other be 30' south of the caster and both would be hit. Also, nowhere does it say that the two targets have to be within 30' of each other. It sounds like the GM is trying to insist that range is measured twice from two different points caster and first target. If you measure from the first target to the second target only, it allows you to hit a creature up to 60 feet away that you ordinarily could not hit.

It may not be RAW but it seems to fit the spirit of the spell.
