Alpha-2 Ball Lightning ability. VFX by John Kent.[1]
When we come to wanting to work with something like lightning, we actually want it to seek out different things in the world and stick to them. We want it to feel like you are actually in control of that lightning, not just plastered on top. So, what we've been working on are kind of behavior systems where you model the behavior of the lightning and how it should work and then those systems get put into our effects.[1] – John Kent

Whenever you cast an elemental spell, your weapon attacks deal additional damage of that spell's element and apply a stack of the corresponding elemental status effects to targets hit. Casting a spell of a different element switches this effect to the new element.[5][6] |
