Strength Level Zero / Strength Level One
This ability grants the user dominion over one of the two secondary elements, which in this case would be lightning or electrical energy. Basically, the user is able to generate electrical energy and expel it from their hands in a projectile form known as “bolts”. There bolts are currently low voltage and will only stun another character for two consecutive in-character posts, during which time they will be disoriented and unable to think clearly.
Duration Period: Three consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: Five consecutive in-character posts.
Strength Level Two
There is not much growth at this level other than a slightly stronger dose of voltage. The bolts of electrical energy will continue to stun for the two consecutive in-character posts as previously stated, but will also cause temporary paralysis for three consecutive in-character posts. When struck, a person will become disoriented and unable to physically respond for the duration of the stated effects.
Duration Period: Three consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: Five consecutive in-character posts.
Strength Level Three
Up until this point, the user has had no control over the amount of power behind their electrical-based attacks. They can now determine how long a person will be paralyzed for, up to five consecutive in-character posts and no more, by stating so in the post which contains the initial attack. This is only in regards to the paralysis as all characters struck by electrical energy will be momentarily stunned.
Duration Period: Five consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: Three consecutive in-character posts.
Strength Level Four
It is a myth that all witches’ familiars are feline in nature. The witch with control over the element of lightning is able to craft an independent familiar with their power, granting an intimate and powerful connection between the pair. The familiar, when made of electrical energy, is known as a sprite and can be summoned by the witch. It will last only a short period (five consecutive in-character posts) before disappearing. Elemental familiars are independent creatures that provide guidance and assistance – though not always in the fashion that the witch imagines it will do so.
Duration Period: Five consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: Three consecutive in-character posts.
Strength Level Five
Users are now capable of releasing continuous streams of electrical energy that are potentially fatal. This, of course, all depends on the user’s intent as they are still able to control the amount of voltage powering the attack. The results of which can range from a simple stunning (for two consecutive in-character posts) to paralysis (up to five consecutive in-character posts) and, finally, to death. The power is still channeled through the hands.
Duration Period: Eight consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: Two consecutive in-character posts.
Strength Level Six
Through devout concentration and expertise manipulation of electrical energy, a user can generate a humanoid being of lightning. It will act independently of the user until it dissipates after five consecutive in-character posts. Also, a summoned elemental being will now last for ten consecutive in-character posts before disappearing as well.
Duration Period: Ten consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: Two consecutive in-character post.
Strength Unlimited
In addition to all of the base level aspects of this power, the user is now capable of reaching an even higher voltage than before. Mortals struck with the full tilt of this power will be instantly killed by the overload of electrical energy coursing through their body, which will shut down all of their vital organs. The user remains in control of the exact effects. Up to five humanoid beings can be created at any one time, each one lasting a maximum of ten consecutive in-character posts. An elemental familiar will remain indefinitely until it is banished by the user. All other limitations remain the same.
Duration Period: Ten consecutive in-character posts.
Interval Period: One consecutive in-character post.
