Lightning Element

The Lightning Element is commonly considered the Chief of Elements. It was initially known as a "god-sent gift" to humans at Novice Mage level for having destructive power comparable to Fire and paralysis effect in each of its attacks. Later it was revealed to be Chief of all Elemental Magic and it has the highest 'armor piercing' capabilities among the 7 Elemental magics. This armor-piercing feature was further explained later on that it only works for Magical items' defense.

With enough training, any Element can hold its own against this Element but Earth Element was the best matchup as later on it was revealed as the natural counter to Lightning. Regardless, Lightning Element is still one of the best Element to rely on when you need to inflict damage and is one of two most trustworthy Elements for the Main Character Mo Fan.

Instructors found statistics on students with lightning elements that stated "unless the student neglect his magic cultivation at least 50% of them successfully become a mid-level magician." this was also hinted later on that as Novice Lightning Mages are very rare, almost all of them will be grabbed by rich and influential families the minute they are found to be Lightning Mage. This allows many Lightning Mages to have vast financial backings. Having vast financial backing is extremely important to cultivate magic. Being a Lightning Mage at Novice pretty much guarantee the student to get this backing far more easily than others.

One very obvious instance is when Mo Fan went to interview for City Bounty Hunter Team. He was instantly accepted without any questions the minute he reveals himself to be a Lightning Mage under the Alias of Fan Mo

It is also to be noted that Lightning Element's resources are very rare and significantly more expensive than other Elements. Which makes breaking through to higher tiers a lot harder

This spell can turn dozens of mountains into dust putting it as the first Super Tier Magic of single Element that rivals Super Tier Combination Magic.

Unique Magic cast by Zhao Jing, the most powerful mage in Zhao Manyan's family who was described by Zhao Manyan's late father as the most gifted mage their family with potential to achieve Forbidden Curse if he had been focused on perfecting his magic skills rather than playing politics and being unscrupulous. The spell is so advanced that even Mo Fan who specializes in Lightning Magic admits that he cannot match Zhao Jing's mastery over Lightning Magic.
