Lightning [i]
“Lightning spirits are an expression of sudden fury. An expression of the pressures of anger. Over the course of mastery those energies become tame, but the moment of the Arc always carries the mental tension of the explosion of anger.”
First Path of Lightning
Every jump of electricity feels like it is taking you with it. Lightning is born of fury, and as such its evocation builds up, bottled inside until release is imminent.
Note: Elemental Magic may also be considered Arcane Arts. Feel free to eschew the elemental angle for other reasoning that suits the character.
