Spell
Lightning
Lightning is a potent offensive spell that conjures a brilliant, jagged bolt of electrical energy and hurls it in a straight line toward your target. The crackling discharge is particularly devastating against foes clad in metal armor, as the conductive properties of their protection channel the electrical force directly through their bodies with amplified effect. This spell serves as both a formidable weapon in direct combat and a psychological tool, capable of intimidating opponents with its spectacular display of raw magical power. The bolt travels swiftly across the battlefield, leaving a trail of scorched air and the acrid smell of ozone in its wake. Those struck by the spell experience searing pain as the electricity courses through them, potentially leaving them temporarily stunned or paralyzed. Beyond its combat applications, the spell's dramatic nature makes it an effective deterrent, as few warriors willingly stand against such an overwhelming display of arcane force. Whether used as a decisive finishing blow or a warning to adversaries, Lightning remains a cornerstone spell for spellcasters who command the fury of the storm.

Effects
You create a bolt of lightning that strikes a target within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the target is wearing metal armor, it has disadvantage on the saving throw. On a failed save, the target is also stunned until the end of its next turn.
