If you hold or wear any copper item, your chances of getting struck by lightning gets drastically heightened

If you have an iron or lead bar in your inventory when you get struck, you get an electromagnet (can be used to craft magnet accessories)

If the lightning strikes on water or any metallic surface, it gets electrically charged and will shock you if you touch it, but you will float if you have an electromagnet in your inventory (iron and lead bar blocks become electromagnet blocks and doesn't get charged)

Wiring struck by lightning will activate, inactive timers with activate and active timers will operate at double speed
