Call Lightning is a powerful spell that creates a cloud from which multiple lightning bolts will strike at a target. This spell has a 40 second buildup time which can be reduced by training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning. This buildup time is divided equally into four, 10-second, rounds. After the cloud has formed and is fully charged, a random number of lightning bolts, usually 3 or 4, will strike at the target.
Call Lightning will only function outdoors unless the below lore requirement is met.
Lore Benefits
Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning provides two benefits:
Cast Indoors
80 ranks of Spiritual Lore, Summoning unlocks the ability to cast the spell indoors. Rangers with Nature's Touch (625) active only need 40 ranks to cast Call Lightning indoors.
Reduced Buildup Time
Training in Summoning Lore reduces the spell's buildup time. There is a 1 second per round reduction for every 10 ranks. The maximum reduction is 7 seconds per round at 70 ranks. With 70 lore ranks the total buildup is reduced from the 40 second base to 12 seconds.
Spiritual Lore, Summoning ranks 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Approximate buildup time in seconds 36 32 28 24 20 16 12
Use with Locked Boxes
If cast at a locked box on the ground, this spell will vaporize the container, spilling the contents. Be aware that boxes made of mithril, boxes which are enruned, boxes with glyph traps, or triggered jaws traps will rebound the lightning to hit the caster rather than destroying the box.
None of the items inside the box will be harmed, except for any scrolls, which will be burned (making them worthless in the eyes of pawnbrokers and unable to be infused). Silver coins will be melted into 'a rough slab of silver' which can be sold for roughly half the value of the original silver coins, at any gemshop, unless turned to gold.
