__TOC__
'''Major Shock''' is an elemental [[bolt]] spell which enables the caster to hurl a powerful bolt of lightning from the palm of the hand toward a designated target. This is a much more powerful version [[Minor Shock (901)]]. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain [[hitpoint]] damage and possibly [[Lightning critical table|lightning]] based [[critical]] injuries.
