Lightning Storm
Spell, Elemental Magic, level 7
Calls down an electrical storm over a large area; cast over water, the area doubles.
From the book
An electrical storm crackles over an area of up to 100x100x100 ft., up to 1,000 ft. away, for 1 minute. Creatures inside take 6-60 points of electrical damage, halved with a save vs Dexterity. Because water conducts electricity, the maximum area doubles when the storm is called down on a body of water.

A scene
Makara sea-devils rose around the Munark raft-fleet at dusk, scaly heads breaking the swell on every side. Nohea, the fleet's witch, stood on the lead raft and called the sky down on the water. A storm of lightning raked the sea around the rafts, forking again and again into the waves, spreading wide across the conducting water. Makara jerked and floated belly-up. A few, quicker than the rest, dived and escaped with only scorched scales. After a minute the sky went quiet and the Munark began pulling their spears from the drifting bodies.
