Lightning Magic

Lightning Magic, also known as Lightning or Thunder, is an ART in Disastrous Events and an elemental in Chronicles.

In Chronicles
Very powerful and extremely practical, Lightning Magic is used quite a bit outside of combat. Many homes are powered by it, and many businesses use it to work their appliances. It is one of the easier forms of magic to use, but only at the most basic levels, which is what most people tend to use to begin with, thus alleviating the stress of maintaining something that powerful for too long.

Lightning magic can be catastrophic in its higher tiers, especially if paired with the higher tiers of water magic or wind magic. It is also highly dangerous to wield, and many who have tried to master the higher tiers have ended up seriously wounded or even dead due to either lack of preparation or plain ineptitude. A good way for one to prevent this is to stand somewhere grounded, have someone who knows earth magic to be there with them in order to create a protective shield (since earth magic is the polar opposite of lightning magic), and to wear something rubbery to avoid conducting any of the electricity produced.
