Lightning (Electrokinesis)

Electrokinesis is the use of lightning and electrical fields. Lightning controllers focus primarily on the offensive use of their energy powers to defeat enemies with pure electric force.

Sometimes referred to in slang as shockers.

Common Strengths

 * Lightning controllers may be able to move with the speed of their element, striking too quickly for opponents to defend themselves.
 * Electrical shocks may be able to temporarily stun enemies, rendering them powerless for a short time and leaving them open to barrages of attacks, or charged-up blasts.
 * Lightning attacks can deal immense amounts of burst damage. Lightning controllers are among the highest-damage kineses.
 * Lightning controllers can often weaken their nerves by redirecting the electrical signals, minimizing the pain they feel in battle and allowing them to keep pushing.

Common Weaknesses

 * Lightning controllers often lack durability; lightning strikes hard, but dissipates in an instant. They are among the least-tough kineses.
 * Creating lightning takes a great deal of energy to do. Some lightning controllers can run out of energy if they cannot close out a battle quickly.
 * Utility effects, such as abilities which can heal allies, lower enemy damage or block attacks are quite low as well for most users.
 * Any effects which could return part of the damage back to the lightning controller could be enough to render them too damaged to continue.

Example Abilities

 * Charging one's physical attacks with lightning to increase their damage.
 * Both flurries of lightning strikes and single massive charged blasts. Customize these to fit your character, but make sure there's a practical difference between them. What are the pros and cons of bringing lightning down from the sky instead of shooting it from your hand?
 * Charging oneself with energy to move with lightning speed.
 * Charging the battlefield itself to increase the power of their lightning attacks.
 * Whatever unique abilities you wanna give your character!
