==Useful Info==
 
−
'''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).

==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 [[Conjurations|conjured]] into existence, not [[Summonings|summoned]], so [[Abjuration]] and [[Recall]] have no effect on them.
