Spell Summary[]
"A painful blast of electricity. Shocking, positively shocking." - The Manual, The Book of Stratos
When cast upon something, wizard summons a lightning which instantaneously strikes its target inflicting shock damage.
The spell is obtained together with following spells: Frostwolf, Sylph and Brainiac. In campaign is received in Stratos's first mission.
Unlike all other BA spells, Lightning doesn't follow its target. If cast upon moving target it will predict its movement and strike it, but any terrain obstacles found between the caster and its target will be hit instead. This also applies for creature and structure obstacles. However the advantage of the Lightning is its instant hit, unlike other BA spells which all have to reach its target. It's also the only BA spell which doesn't have splash damage, but makes up for this with greater damage and much faster cast.
