Shocking grasp is the first spell taught to electric mages. Electricity is
drawn to their finger tips, which they direct at their target. The common name
of the spell is misleading, one does not actually have to make physical
contact with the  target, instead the electricity flows into the target as the
caster clenches his fist, 'grasping' his target. The effects of this spell is
a dull pain that travels through the muscle  tissue.
