Useful Info
When cast, the spell will move the user up to the target and attack. You must be at least 2 tiles away from the target (e.g this spell must move you at least 1 tile). It bypasses traps and other hazards, but not impassible terrain or monsters. If there is an invisible monster you can't see on the intended tile, then the spell "does its darned best" to displace it.
This spell uses your melee attack for damage. Time to cast will be as long as either one move or one swing, whichever is higher. Auxiliary attacks and cleaving still apply when making rolling attacks, but you can't stab.
For each tile moved, you will gain a bonus of +33% electric damage, for a maximum of +100% damage at 3 tiles. Regardless of distance, you will deal an additional
power/1.5% electric damage - another +33% at max power. Damage bonuses are additive, so if you move 3 or more tiles, you will deal +133% damage against non-resistant targets. In addition, this attack gains +5 to-hit.This spell does not work if you cannot translocate (-Tele or Formicid's stasis) or move.
Strategy
The opposite of Lesser Beckoning, Vhi's Electric Charge allow you to approach enemies with some extra damage.
Be careful when using this spell; you could charge straight into a pack of monsters without realizing it.
