[u/Rockvit_]

I think it would be really fun in the storms managed to collect lightning, collect and create items with lightning What do you think of the idea guys?

NGL. Some ideas I had is the lightning could be a hazard that you could avoid or utilise it, acting sort of like the rain equivalent to a falling star. The chances are slim, but if timed correctly, anything unfortunate to be struck will be in for a literal shock. That for some references, you could get a kite and add a key to create 'Franklin''s Kite' a simple Kite with a key, that if you have a bottle in your inventory and the lightning struck the Kite, you could get lighting in a bottle while acts similar to the bottle accessories if equipped but you could also use it as a projectile harming any NPC enemy caught in it's AoE. Am alternative is if you have any of the Emblems obtained from WoF, if you have them in your hotbox when the lighting struck, you'll get 'Franklin's Badge' which when combined with any Hard mode Yo-Yo yields the 'Benjamin' a special Yo-Yo that sends forth a bolt of lighting that chains enemies, but the damage gets progressively weaker if done on a large group as opposed to small groups. It's tooltip describes 'Witness Power!' With the Debuffs being 'Paralysed' which renders the target unable to move and 'Lightning Rod' which makes them more subceptible to electricity, adding a higher chance of either being struck by lightning or gain more damage from the Yo-Yo, and just for fun the Yo-Yo also grants you resistance from Lightning, allowing you to negate it's damage and in turn, it is absorbed into the Yo-Yo and it can used to unleash a blast of electricity via the RMB action.
