Lightning

Lightning also known as Bolt is a recurring element in the Grandia series. Lightning magic is primarily used to deal huge damage to enemies and often contains the more powerful spells in the games.

Recurring Themes

Equipment

Lightning equipment is a very common set of weapons, armor and accessories that deal, nullify, or absorb Lightning damage. One of these items is the Thunder/Thor Sword, a high-level sword which is often only superseded in power by the game's final weapon.

Spells

Lightning magic has many offensive spells including Zap!, Zap! All, DragonZap, and GadZap!. The spell Stram occasionally appears as the only non-damaging lightning magic in many games although it also appears as Forest magic.

Enemies

There are no specific style of enemies who have a weakness or resistance to lightning magic. It is notable that many boss enemies are resistant or immune to the effects of lightning damage to defer the user's reliance on its heavy damaging spell set.
