Simple and straight forward. I like it.

This among other new suggestions are re-hashes of spells that have already been suggested.

I haven't found a similar spell. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So this is a stratgic spell, not a combat spell?

[ampoliros]

There are Lightning Bolt and Lightning Surge.

I will give you that they are in the Tactical Spells Forum. That is one of the drawbacks of these Forums. There are many spells which can pull double duty.

Still, there wasn't a spell that would deal additional damage to flying/floating units. It's another idea, giving us more room to create final drafts. Should it be merged with other ideas, that should be taken into account while creating a 'final' lightning spell - we don't want too many of them.
It might as well be tactical, or available on both maps.

I like the general idea of various damage spells (fire, cold, lightning) having different effects, like the stun/burn/freeze in AoW, or like being more efficient on some targets and less efficient on others, it gives more flavour and tactical depth.

This spell would make more sense to me as a strategic one if it struck armies at random while upkeep was paid. E.g.:

Lightning storm
Air/Destruction


Causes clouds to thump together, releasing charged bolts that strike armies on the world map. Deals damage to 1 - 3 random armies per turn as long as upkeep is paid. Does slightly more damage to flying and swimming creatures.
