Lightning is a clerical spell that monsters of level 12 or higher can cast at you. It deals 8d6 lightning damage (which can be reduced by half spell damage) unless the player has shock resistance or reflection, and can explode wands and rings.[1] Unlike other forms of lightning, this spell will not make you blind. This is bug C342-46.
