Lets the caster walk through the air as a raging, lightning-filled tempest. The caster's melee attacks are strengthened, electrified, and strike all adjacent foes. The caster also flies, is more evasive, 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 power with which it was cast. While transformed, any equipped weapons and armour are melded. “Stormform is said to cause A tempest of winds and showers, Beware its powers, beware its powers. Though its coming brings the gods their night, It obliges a bloodred spren. Beware its end, beware its end.” -Brandon Sanderson, “Words of Radiance”. 2014.

Storm Form is a level 7 Transmutations / Air spell that changes you into an agile, destructive being of lightning.

Useful Info

Storm Form turns you into lightning, with the following changes:

Restrictions

• Melded Gear: All armour, weapon and shield. (Can only wear jewellery)
• Cannot throw.

Uses your species body size. Movement delay set to 1.0, even if your species is faster or slower.

Strategy

Storm Form is a high damage form that scales heavily with spell power. At low power, Dragon Form deals more damage to single targets.

This form is surprisingly durable. You retain your natural EV, and gain bonuses to both EV and AC. Even though Dragon Form has 150% health, because it is giant, it loses EV. When your only defensive skills are Fighting and Dodging, that isn't great.

Tips & Tricks

• Like other forms, Storm Form benefits greatly from support magic such as Ozocubu's Armour and Manifold Assault.
• Since Storm Form melds equipment, it's usually a good idea to wield a robe of the Archmagi and/or staff of air before transforming. Just be careful if you transform out.
