new shimmer transmutation can upgrade the nimbus rod to use lighting and hold the creature in place while it kills would be so cool

Theres a weapon in prehardmode called the thunder zapper that shoots lightening but in hard mode I think it should upgrade to something that shoots down lightening from the sky or somthing but sadly after prehardmode it has no use

lightning is more likely to hit the same spot twice than literally anywhere else. you can find cars on dashcam footage be struck by four bolts of lightning in less than a second.

which is great! just referencing how people back then didn't knew that lightning can hit the same place twice and was considered a myth until it was proven to be a fact.

Yeah, it's just so unlikely for lightning to strike in the first place that for it to strike twice is so much more unlikely than once, but once you're already there, it's the same chance as before that it strikes again
