Powers

Chain Fences

You can immobilize multiple foes in a chain of electricity, dealing minor damage to all foes in range and draining some endurance. This power also reduces Flight capacity in targets.

Conductive Aura

While this power is active, the air around you becomes charged with electricity, leaping out and shocking foes that get too close. Foes will lose some endurance, while you gain Recovery and Regeneration per target hit.

Electric Fence

Surrounds and Immobilizes a single target in an Electric Fence. Deals some damage over time and slowly drains some Endurance. Useful for keeping villains at bay and bringing down fliers.

Gremlins

Mastery over electricity allows you to create almost sentient elementals of lightning. These elementals are mischievous in nature, and enjoy creating havoc and interfering with electronic equipment or magical cantrips. They also never work alone, where there is one Gremlin, there is often another nearby.

Editor's Note:

Gremlins take less damage from Smashing, Lethal, and Energy attack, can jump quite high, and can travel quickly.

Jolting Chain

You can send a bolt of electricity through multiple opponents, causing a muscle spasm and dealing minor damage. Each foe is knocked down, and the electric charge can fork several times, jumping to several opponents rapidly.

Summoning a large amount of energy, you can completely paralyze a group of foes in cages of electricity for a short time. These foes may be drained of some endurance as well.

Static Field

You can build up a Static Field at a nearby location. Any foes in the field may lose control of their muscles due to the static charge, and will shake violently. Foes may also be drained of some endurance, and some of that endurance may be transferred to nearby allies. Any attack will interrupt the effect temporarily and foes will regain control, although their movement and attack rates will be reduced. This effect can last for some time, and will continue to paralyze foes in the field.

Synaptic Overload

This power can subtly scramble the synapses of any target affected, causing hallucinations and confusion amongst foes. The electric charge lasts for some time, and will jump slowly to other opponents causing wide spread confusion. Foes may not be aware that this has happened, and will not be alerted to your presence. You will also not receive experience for any damage dealt by confused opponents.

Tesla Cage

Tesla Cage confines the target in an electrical prison. The target is overwhelmed by the electrical charge and is left helpless and can be attacked. The target is drained of some Endurance and some of that Endurance may be transferred back to you.
