Notes

• In-game, the description says that this action works specifically with lightning spells, but the conditions are not actually that restrictive. It works with any spell so long as it deals some lightning damage. Since this action requires having  Lightning Charges anyway, all damaging spells will deal at least 1 ⁠Lightning damage. As a result, this action can be used with any damaging spell.

Bugs

• If the wearer has 5 or more turns of Lightning Charges remaining when casting their next spell, both the additional damage from Lightning Blast and the 1d8⁠⁠LightningDRS from Lightning Charges will be dealt to the target of the spell.
