Lightning, for ages, has been looked upon as one of the most powerful occurances in nature. Striking from somewhere unseen in the heavens, and wreaking havoc on whatever lies in its path. Not suprisingly, some of those who practice magic have harnessed that power for use against their enemies. The ability to throw bolts of lightning at will is a very powerful one indeed. In order to conjure the power of the storms, one should be familiar with the nature of lightning and its characteristics.
