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 or zap a wand of magic darts.
- Ball lightnings are conjured into existence, not summoned, so Abjuration and Recall have no effect on them.
History
Prior to 0.14, they were permanently confused and would move erratically.
