Lightning

Lightning is one of the four main elements of Creation. It is the element of electricity and it is generally associated with the color blue and sometimes yellow (mostly in sets). It was first practiced by the First Elemental Master of Lightning and over a hundred generations later, it was practiced by the Previous Master of Lightning and passed down to her son Jay. This element corresponds with the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Lightning Dragon, and the Elemental Lightning Dragon.
==Users' abilities==
*Electrokinesis/Fulgurkinesis - The user can create, generate, increase, absorb, convert/store, conduct, shape, and manipulate electricity of various intensities. Users of this element can also create, manipulate, summon, contact, and redirect natural lightning in an electrical storm, electrocute opponents, generate electrical constructs and storms, empower themselves with electricity, control/summon massive storms, thunder, static electricity, and subatomic particles, and cause electrical explosions. Also, the user can use it against an adversary by releasing electricity-charged impacts.
**Technokinesis - One application of Lightning, as Jay taught Lloyd, is to overload, control, and power electrical devices or systems. Lloyd used his Lightning powers to overcharge a light bulb, allowing him to use the shards of glass to free himself from his bonds."Double Trouble" Jay was even able to use his power to create a specific image (a Steep Wisdom teapot) on multiple screens."Winds of Change"
***Electronic Disruption - Lloyd was able to disrupt a message sent to the Ultra Sonic Raider by his father, Lord Garmadon, and play a video game instead.
***Electrocommunication - The user is able to interface with natural electrical signals to communicate with others.
***Mechanokinesis - The user can possibly manipulate mechanical objects.
**Electrokinetic Attacks - The user can attack using Lightning.
***Electrokinetic Breath - The user can expel electricity from their mouth.
***Electric Blast - The user can release electricity over a specific target area which causes great damage and/or delivers great shock waves of pure force.
***Electrokinetic Bolt Projection - The user is able to create and project bolts of electricity and control the intensity/power of their projectiles, the bolts aren't weak but may not be as powerful as a full-powered attack.
***Electric Orb Projection - The user is able to project an orb of electricity as seen when Jay tried to break Cole free from Skales' hypnosis."Home"
***Electrokinetic Beam Emission- The user can produce and project beams of concentrated electricity, which can shock or cause electrocution, pierce through almost anything, or create destructive explosions upon impact.
***Electrokinetic Wave Emission - The user can create waves, spirals, rings, pulses, blasts, balls, and bursts of electricity to stun, damage, and/or paralyze opponents.
**Electro-Flyrogenesis/Electrokinetic Shield Construction - The user can generate a force field/shield of electricity as a defensive tactic (similarly to its elemental shield).
***Elemental Shield - The user can create a Lightning elemental shield.
**Electro-Telekinesis - The user can use electricity to move and manipulate objects.
**Electrokinetic Resistance - The user is partially resistant against electricity and lightning."On a Wish and a Prayer"
**Electrical Attraction - While out in a storm, Jay attracted all the stray lightning directly into him. It can also be used to redirect lightning to attack an adversary or as a defense. 
**Electrokinetic Infusion - The user can infuse objects (usually a weapon), beings, body parts, vehicles"A Line in the Sand" or powers with electricity, empowering and energizing them and allowing the user to manipulate their qualities and efficiency and use electricity in various ways to attack.
**Electrified Surface - The user can send electricity through a surface (often the ground or a floor), to channel electricity, sending electric shocks to anything in contact with them or the surface.
**Electromagnokinesis - The user can manipulate and generate electromagnetism, allowing them to use their Lightning as a magnet.
***Electromagnetic Pulse Emission - The user can produce a surge of electromagnetic energy.
**Bio-Electrokinesis - The user can manipulate and generate electricity from their bodies.
***Electrokinetic Speed - The user is able to use Lightning to achieve superhuman speed. Jay used this ability when he, Zane, and Cole were chasing the Skulkin after they stole three of the Golden Weapons.
***Electric Strike - The user can use electricity to power a strike, allowing shock damage from the electricity used in the strike.
***Electric Recharge - The user is able to recharge batteries by infusing them with electricity, but this can prove dangerous in some situations.
***Electrified Body/Electric Aura - When the user is in a state of rage or extreme emotion, their body will be infused and crackle with electricity."The Turn of the Tide"
***Electrokinetic Absorption - The user can absorb electricity, while removing it from its source and into their body, and use it in various ways. This was seen in "The Oni and the Dragon", when Jay used the electricity in a light to shut down Mr. E's motorcycle.
*Dragon Creation - The user can create a Lightning Dragon.
===Via the users' True Potential===
*Electrokinetic Body - The user can temporarily transform their body completely into electricity.
**Electrokinetic Intangibility - When the user is turned into electricity, they appear to become slightly intangible.
**Electrokinetic Flight - The user can fly, glide, or levitate using electricity."The Invitation" They can fly at varying speeds, levitate, or propel themselves without taking flight.
***Electrokinetic Levitation - The user can levitate using electricity.
**Electroportation - This allows the user to also "teleport" short distances using electrical currents and possibly move through electrical circuits and wires.
===Higher-level powers===
*Dragon Form - Like the rest of the users of the elements of Creation, Lightning Elementals can unlock their Dragon Form, though it can only work through a sense of unity and a sequence of movements.
**Flight - Once in Dragon Form, the user can fly with the wings on their back.
**Immunity to Vengestone - In dragon form, the user's powers are unaffected by Vengestone.
**Infectious Crystal Immunity - A user of Dragon Form is unaffected by infectious crystals.
== Symbol==
The symbol of Lightning is an octopus. The silhouette of the octopus and its tentacles resemble a storm cloud discharging lightning. It may refer to Jay's energetic and intelligent nature.

==Appearances==
==Trivia==
*Despite the element being shown as blue in the TV series, Lightning is mostly a yellow color in the sets.
*In his original Character Card, Lloyd's dominant element was listed as Lightning, though according to Tommy Andreasen, this isn't canon to the TV series.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1305541863970156544 However, Lloyd was shown using the Nunchucks of Lightning in Zane's dream in "Never Trust a Snake," and the Golden Weapons made green lightning when they revealed that Lloyd was the Green Ninja. 
**Additionally, in the "Meet the Heroes" video released for the 10th anniversary, it is stated that his original dominant element was lightning.
*Similarly, Lord Garmadon's Destruction is represented as lightning on the cards, and he was shown to be able to generate lightning in "The Green Ninja."
*Jay's LEGO.com description for Rebooted stated, "When Jay uses his electrical powers to his fullest, he creates 1.21 gigawatts."https://web.archive.org/web/20131130024840/http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago/characters/rebooted/jay However, this may not be canon.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1372854817199116289 
**1.21 gigawatts is a reference to the power input required to operate the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future.
*In "Ghost Story," Morro was able to shoot green lightning. This is not normal lightning, but rather a manifestation between Energy and ghost power.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/826826385926848513
*In the story about Jay that Fugi-Dove made up in "The Absolute Worst", Jay was shown riding on lightning and creating lightning ropes, although these are purely a part of Fugi-Dove's imagination and not a part of Lightning's abilities.
*Nuckal and Krazi are affiliated with Lightning in promotional material and the Ninjago Spinners game, though this is non-canon.
*When asked about which element he would like to have, Tommy Andreasen said, "I kind of like lightning. Ever since I saw the Emperor do that in Return of the Jedi in 1983."https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/923788546359611392
*Jay has been zapped by lightning a few times, in "Kingdom Come," "On a Wish and a Prayer," and "Sweatin' to the Goldies." A ninja is also depicted being zapped by lightning on the spinner card, Power Surge.
** Characters will often briefly appear as skeletons when zapped with lightning. This is seen happening to the Stone Swordsmen in "The Last Hope," Spitta in "Green and Gold," Cole in "Krag's Lament," and Jay in the aforementioned "Sweatin' to the Goldies."
*In Dragons Rising, there is yellow lightning.
