[edit] Usage

Almost like an Aura of sorts, Thunder Storm will automatically hit surrounding monsters with falling bolts of lightning. When cast, a crackling ring of electricity will form around the Sorceress' feet, indicating Thunder Storm.

A set-it-forget-it spell, Thunder Storm lasts for quite a while, and will hit monsters without the trouble of having to aim. Although it has no synergies, Lightning Mastery is quite effective in boosting its damage, and with the right equipment Thunder Storm can kill enemies even in one hit. Quick, dodgy enemies are just easily hit by Thunder Storm as any other enemy, making it a formidable skill against them.

Since Thunder Storm has little synergy needed to be effective, Sorceresses such as Enchantress or Fire Wall Sorceress often specialize in it as well, to deal extra damage of another element. There is nothing that prevents Thunder Storm from being cast with similar passive spells like Frozen Armor, Enchant, or Energy Shield.

[edit] History

Weather manipulation is the most impressive form of elemental magic a Sorceress may attain. A Sorceress learned in this skill may manifest a tempest of dark storm clouds that follow her wherever she travels. Any who approach the canopy of her storm are subject to the full force of the gale and bolts of powerful lightning!
