Electricity Powers (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

Electricity is something that accompanies technology. Primitives recognize the power of lightning and perhaps static electricity, but little more.

Electricity powers deal with electric current, tension, and potential. It also masters magnetism. Most commonly viewed in technological terms, this also represents the lightning bolts of Zeus and the thundering hammer of Thor. Electricity is in a dominant position towards much technology - even if electric powers are not subtle enough to control technology and electronics, they can usually detect or destroy such devices.

Electric attacks are made of lightning. It is extra effective against electronics and less effective against grounded metal. Metal armor works normally against electricity unless it is grounded, in which case it grants immunity.

Electric creatures are electric elementals and monsters with electric powers, such as Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, the goats of Thor. This includes creatures with electronic brains like AIs and robots. The few natural animals that use electricity, mainly electric eels and sharks with electrosense, can be affected by both electric and Animal powers.

The plane of electricity in a magical setting is made up of ball-lightning-like nodes of electric powers, with arcs to other similar clusters nearby. These nodes are habitats where electric creatures thrive. Random bolts of lightning connect to more distant nodes.

Apparently electricity is the perfect source of power. No Electricity power is different enough to need its own detailed description.
