Spell

Onyx Lightning

Created by Zarif

The Onyx Lightning spell summons a powerful arc of crackling, ebony energy that erupts from the caster's fingertips. This arcane bolt surges forth, dancing between nearby foes in a mesmerizing display of raw power. The lightning strikes with a deafening crack, searing the flesh of those caught in its path. The caster can direct the arc, guiding it to strike multiple targets in quick succession. The spell's intensity is such that the air itself seems to vibrate with the sheer force of the eldritch lightning. Enemies find themselves overwhelmed by the relentless barrage, their bodies convulsing as the Onyx Lightning courses through them. This spell is a testament to the caster's mastery of the arcane arts, a devastating display of magical might.
