Lightning

1 Conversation

Nature's Electricity Overload, which is kept in dark clouds. It comes in two forms: The type that comes out in a storm, and something they called Divine Retribution, which is the thing you are most likely to be struck down by if you either say you don't believe in God or address the divine being by his real name.

It is generally considered a bad idea to attempt to fly a key attached to a kite into electrical storms, as this is most likely to provoke an attack by both forms of lightning. Lightning was, however, the inspiration for a fetching fashion item involving sticking metal rods with grounding cables onto the tops of the hats of stylish ladies.
