==Lightning== [[File:Lightnings.png|200px|thumb|right|Simple lightning force cast creates lightnings. Most lightning-based spells shoot lightnings like these.]] {{ElementInfo | image = [[File:Element_lightning.png]] | type = Lightning | opposites = Water, earth | effects = Shocked | qwerty = A }} [[File:Chain_Ghtning.png|200px|thumb|right|Because lightnings are all the same, it was better to show their chain effect.]] [[File:Storm_Ray.png|200px|thumb|right|The Storm Ray ({{Elem|qf}}{{Elem|qf}}{{Elem|a}}{{Elem|s}}{{Elem|a}}) is a powerful beam spell featuring lightning. Its area counterpart - Storm Ring - is also strong.]] Lightning is like a celebirty - loud, exaggerated and famous. Lightning magic is dangerous, it does not require any strategies and deals all of its damage INSTANTLY so it can be very useful when you have no time to think. It is also a vital part of several high-damage spells. Lightning is a damage element. Well, it causes shocking, but this status effect ends its duration along with the spell so it isn't a good method of crowd control against more numerous enemies - a wizard would need to cast at all of them at the same time. Most lightning-based spells shoot lightnings in some directions, for example, area lightning casts shoots numerous lightnings in every direction while Energy Crystals of Doom (they contain lightning) shoot them into close enemies. These lightnings may be the same but when climate doesn't matter and it's all about efficiency, it's an advantage as lightnings hop from one target to another. This makes it easy to hit fellow wizards with a damaging spell, but if your wizard fights evil solo, then he can damage multiple targets at the same time (no, not multiple enough to keep a whole army shocked). Also, if some target is in the spell's range, lightning will find it itself which makes targeting easier than when shooting beams. This element is liked because of its property to double the whole spell's (whatever it contains) damage against wet enemies and increasing it by 50% against armored ones. Lightnings can be infused with elements, but well, there are only three elements with lower priority than lightning and one of them is the lightning's opposite so it can be only infused with fire or cold. Lightning also has one great disadvantage. When a wet wizard tries to use lightning magick, every charge of this element is instantly self-casted as the water on the wizard catches it. Remember, what is the effect of combining "wet" and "lightning"?. Yes, this means huge trouble if a wizard tries to use a spell containing lots of this element. Like, ironically, a full lightning ward - {{Elem|e}}{{Elem|a}}x4. Lightning can't be used in tandem with water (you need to use steam to make foes wet and strike them with lightning at the same time) and earth (yes, this means no ball lightnings). {{-}}
