| Lets the user walk through the air as a raging, lightning-filled tempest. The user's melee attacks electrified and strike all adjacent foes. The user also flies, gains immunity to poison and miasma, and resists electricity. They can launch themselves as a lightning bolt, blasting through everything in their way. The damage and evasion granted by storm form are highly dependent on the user's skill with Shapeshifting. While transformed, any equipped weapons and armour are melded. |
