Electricity / Lightning Tree?

[thad]

Is there one? I see a few mentions of electricity, but can't see a full effort to develop a whole tree of it?

Aside from grabbing the other elemental powers and putting them here with electric flavour, there would be specific spells.
Evil Sith Force Lightning for one
But also being able to zap sand to create Kris. (Or explicitly stating this isn't allowed.)

I had thought about making something like this but each time I do I get stumped with what to put in it besides "zap people with lightning". There is a Tech Tree which does some of the stuff you may associate with "electricity" so… I don't know what to put in this one. And that's a shame because Lightning is my most favourite element. Perhaps instead of electricity/lightning you could call it electromagnetism… That may have some extra things you could put in it (magneto powers).

Have a look in Magic Churn for some spell ideas that were being kicked about

Some spells I was thinking of that would be unique for this:

Electric Buzz, range touch, target is stunned next round

Muscle Cramp, range touch, target is Frozen next round (ie doesn't get a turn)

Fuse, fuse things together (think arc welding)

Water zap, touch water and use it to conduct an electrical zap

Overclock, range self, fire up yer brain! get a bonus to next skill roll


You could easily say "magical electricity has the wrong ampherage, etc, and is not compatible with tech. Try it, and you'll just fry whatever the device is, just like you fumbled using it."

Not sure Logan would like "overclock". Maybe if it was under the Knowledge tree. I like the others. What would water zap do exactly? I like the Fuse one the most. Neat little lightning/electricity spells like that. I was also thinking about something like…

Magnetise – touch. Touch a non-magnetic metallic object and make it magnetic for x amount of time.
Magnetic Field - self. Repel metallic objects coming towards you (probably have less chance to be hit).


So it would be more Electromagnetism.
