Lightning Lore
Many believe lightning is the most powerful of all the elements. Said to be a gift from the god of courage and the god of life. Lightning can be generated and unleashed from the body. Usually the hands. It cannot be an exhalation attack, though, so Dragonman use their bodies like most other races. Lightning attacks can be long surges of electricity or powerful bolts like in thunderstorms. The lightning element is not nearly as powerful as natural lightning, though.
Lightning attacks can have paralyzing effects, restricting movements considerably. Though elemental lightning is not powerful enough to short circuit hearts, they can be used to restart one.
Though lightning is often considered the most powerful element, with enough practice, it can be mastered impressively. However, compared to some others like fire, ice, and water, it is more challenging. Usually it takes great physical and emotional control to properly wield. If a lightning elemental becomes panicked or extremely furious when using their powers, they could end up dangerously exhausting themselves or even get hurt by their own attacks. Luckily, if the element is practiced enough, this rarely occurs.
Unlike fire, the lightning variants do not have much differences in color shade. With the exception of neon lighting, which comes in several colors like blue, purple, red, green, and orange. Neon lightning is special among the other types. Only about 3% of lightning elementals possess it. For some reason, it is most common among people who are dedicated to religion and the gods, such as priests, pilgrims, nuns, and wickens. Even more mysterious, people can be born with neon lightning even if nobody in their bloodline possesses it. It seems to have a connection to the purest, most compassionate and courageous of people. Since lightning element variations are determined by genetics, it is unknown how this occurs. Some believe it is the work of the gods themselves
In conclusion, lightning is a powerful element that must be practiced with dedication. With the right training, it can prove to be a mighty force.
