'''Ball lightning''' is an extremely dangerous weather phenomenon normally unheard of in subterranean [[Dungeon]]s. They behave like [[giant spore]]s, rapidly charging the nearest hostile target and exploding to deal 3d20 [[electricity]] damage to everything within a few tiles. Unlike giant spores, they also occasionally shoot blasts of lightning at random targets as they charge in. Ball lightning only naturally occurs in a few [[vault]]s, but can be created through use of the [[Conjure Ball Lightning]] spell (which only you, [[Lom Lobon]], and some [[player ghost]]s can cast).

Useful Info

Ball lightning is a permanently confused weather phenomenon normally unheard of in subterranean Dungeons. They only have 1 HP, and when they die, they explode to deal 3d20 electricity damage to everything within a few tiles. They also occasionally shoot blasts of lightning at random targets. Ball lightning only naturally occurs in a few vaults, but can be created through use of the Conjure Ball Lightning spell (which only you, Lom Lobon, and some player ghosts can cast).

Tips & Tricks

  • Electricity resistance renders them a whole lot less terrifying.
  • Although they're nearly impossible to outrun, you can safely detonate ball lightning from a distance by inflicting at least 1 point of damage. They're immune to all forms of elemental damage, but any character can throw a stone.
  • Ball lightnings are conjured into existence, not summoned, so Abjuration and Recall have no effect on them.

History

In 0.14 they will lose their permanent confusion.
