| 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, 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. |
Storm Form is a level 7 Transmutations / Air spell.
