The clouds are still too far to effectively use lightning. I can summon a little of it on my own, but using energy which already exists is easier. It's in the right shape, and I can just help it reach the ground using the path I like.
I close my eyes and focus on it. The clouds are wet and cold, and they're filled with rain that will sooner or later start falling. Before it happens, however, the lightning needs to release some of the extra energy.
I clench my fists and bite my lower lip, designing the best way to make the jolt hit the right point without killing anyone.
I create the path for the first strike. When it comes to lightning, there are two kinds of energy. They attract each other like lovers and push away the same kind of energy as competitors. Like men and women. When a couple of matching energies meet, the jolt sends the energy.
