Blood lightning was a bizarre wizard spell.[1][2]

Effects[]

This spell could be used on the caster or anyone they touched. Once cast, blood lightning was undetectable until the target of the spell bled. A remove curse spell could negate the spell if cast before blood lightning was activated.[1][2]

Once they began to bleed from an injury, the target of this spell had ten minutes where they could either heal themselves a bit or lash out with the spell's energy. If released as an attack blood lightning appeared as a web of red lightning shooting from each of the caster's bleeding wounds. Any creature within a 40 ft (12 m) radius of the caster would suffer intense harm from the lightning attack. The caster was unable to protect anyone within striking distance from harm.[1][2]

Components[]

In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required the caster or the spell's target to bleed for its material component.[1][2]
