Useful Info
Ball lightning is a weather phenomenon normally unheard of in subterranean Dungeons. It is attracted to the enemies of its conjurer and explodes on contact, dealing 3d20 electricity damage to everything within a few tiles. Ball lightning only naturally occurs in a few vaults, but can be created through use of the Conjure Ball Lightning spell (which only you, Lom Lobon, spellforged servitors, and some player ghosts can cast).
Tips & Tricks
- Electricity resistance renders it a whole lot less terrifying.
- Although it's nearly impossible to outrun, you can safely detonate ball lightning from a distance by inflicting at least 1 point of damage. it is immune to all forms of elemental damage but any character can throw a stone or cast Magic Dart.
- Ball lightning is conjured into existence, not summoned. Effects like Abjuration and Okawaru's ally prevention won't affect it.
