casting lightning in tabletop and video games: zzzt!! sizzle crackle! nyeh heh heh!!! zzzt!!! [rotoscoped flickery lightning effect]
how casting lightning SHOULD work: your target explodes as all available energy earths itself through them. all targets within ten foot AoE of line to target are permanently deafened and temporarily blinded. all targets within fifty feet are deafened for 1d8 days. your sorceror acquires one Trauma Point
brb redoing my struck by magic lightning scene for a much cooler one
there's a reason i made casting lightning in my setting's magic system considered one of the hardest sorts of combat magic. takes decades of practice for most people, and even then it takes even more training to be able to direct its path
with that kind of power you may as well carry around a railgun with power contacts on the grips, it'll have better range
