Fulgur

*Fulgur* is electricity magic - conducting electricity using your body like a wire. *Fulgur* is dependent on the mage's energy and is the element of power.

* **Direct** - Active conduction of electricity
* **Mobile** - Movements are like routing electricity
* **Simple** - Low kaph drain

Symbol - Lightning

## Background

After the annihilation of *Vis*, users were unable to cast the element. Around four months later, an unnamed adventurer found a yellow, electric slime. The slime was sent to the SWANs to be studied and experimented on. During testing, it was discovered that the slime was able to cast *only* *Vis* *Fulgur*--not any other *Vis* skill. Because slimes can only cast within an element--not exclusively one skill--it showed that a new element was created from *Vis*: that element is *Fulgur*.

The full extensive test log for the slime can be found here

## Overview

*Fulgur* allows mages to control and direct electricity.

### Behavior

*Fulgur* can only function when available electricity is present. It is NOT recommended to use your own nervous system's electricity supply as it could be dangerous to health.

### Combat

*Fulgur* is very effective in combat. However as much as it is effective, it unintentionally creates factors controllable by other elements.

#### Against other elements

* Water is a great conductor for electricity and thus *Aquae* can redirect electricity created by *Fulgur*
* Fire created by electricity can be controlled by *Ignis*
* If a user of *Petra* *Metallum* is wearing metal that is struck by electricity, it can significantly damage the opponent
* Light created by electricity can be controlled by *Lux*
* Light created by electricity can weaken *Umbra*

#### Nervosi

*Nervosi* allows users of *Fulgur* to affect other's nervous system. Using this could cause major brain and nerve damage against opponents.

### Symbolism

The symbol for *Fulgur* is a stylized ב (from ברק).

### Civilian use

*Fulgur* is used to power and diagnose electric components. It is commonly used by electricians.

## Skills

### Evocatio - Summoning

Summon electricity / lightning from clouds and nearby electric currents.

```
**Targeting** - Requires a source of electricity

```

Nearby electric current can mean anything with electricity. Including static electricity, currently running electronic devices without proper protection, and even electricity from brains. Users will most commonly source from static electricity.

### Mutantur - Changing

Manipulate properties of electricity (voltage, wattage, amperage, resistance, etc).

```
**Targeting** - Requires electricity

```

Mages can easily make a weak source of electricity stronger with this skill. This can prove very strong in combat.

### Nervosi - Nervous System

Manipulate the nervous system of another being.

```
**Targeting** - Requires a nervous system

```

```
**Forbidden** - Illegal due to controlling nature

```

```
**Corrupting** - Can corrupt an individual due to its controlling nature.
The controlled individual can possibly receive nerve damage.

```

Controlling the nervous system allows for a mage to have complete muscular control over an individual. Mind control is not possible with this skill and the best that a mage could hope to do is cause brain damage or a coma.

### Magnetismos - Magnetism

Control electromagnetism.

```
**Targeting** - Requires electricity and objects to affect

```

This allows mages to control general magnetism and attract / repel other things to / from each other.

## Elemental Imprinting

*Fulgur* is properly imprinted on the inside of the right wrist (symbol facing up).

## Passive Abilities

### Positive

* **Fulgur** - Control electricity
* **Voltage** - Sense electricity / EM waves
* **Conductor** - Body is more tolerant to electricity, can conduct electricity, and cannot be burnt by it
* **Nerves of Steel** - Users cannot be affected by *Fulgur Nervosi*
* **Insulator** - Static electricity cannot be accidentally discharged from body

### Negative

* **Battery** - Stored electricity can only be stored for so long until it reaches the nervous system. The more electricity stored, the more likely discharge will happen

## Trivia

	+ Originally, *Fulgur* was considered a sub-class up until *Vis* disappeared
* Entity-347 prophesied *Fulgur*'s discovery 4 months prior
