Electrostatic Blast + Conduction

The primary attack used by Electrophage Gizo-Jin. The signature and most used attack used by the Protagonist, Visell interspersed between melee and evasion.

Effect

An Electrostatic Blast is a high voltage bolt of electricity jumping from the wielder's hand or conduit to the target's body. The bolt can cause burns, disorientation, and mild to severe pain. Usually is used in medium-paced succession or between other attacks. the longer the charge the stronger the attack
Visell uses this when fighting crowds and groups. Usually used on mid to short-range enemies to throw them off off guard before a melee. She also uses it as a counter-attack to a melee. After she dodges, she'll use a quick sweep of lightning to burn her opponents.

Conduction is when The wielder passively or actively forces electricity through a foreign medium. This could be a weapon, the ground or chains, and wires.

Side/Secondary Effects

Blast

Scrabble- A Short Range EMP blast that can disrupt electrical equipment and magnetic forcefield with no static shielding.
Return stroke- Most basic attack. It can also incapacitate weaker foes. If the charge is strong enough it can burn through light to medium armor.
Return stroke- If close enough to physically touch, Eletrophages can excite the electrons in a metal object or conductive object behind their opponent and use Return stroke to blast electricity through them.
Taser- Can create an electric current around the fist causing electric shock as they strike their enemies.
Return stroke Atomos- Visell occasionally calls this "Zeus's middle finger", which Excites the electrons in clouds and on the ground or a target creating a 5x stronger burst of electricity.
UberCurrent- A supercharged, sustained single ribbon bolt of lightning that can last up to 10 seconds.

Conduction.

Side Flash- Electrophage can push electricity through a metal object that creates a blinding electrical blast when touched. Alternatively shooting a bolt of lightning at a metal pole or pipe can achieve the same effect. Visell mainly uses her sword by force full making the side the blade with the edge oh her hand
Grounder. Electrophage can send electricity through the ground which causes it to become electrified electrocuting any enemies around them with a short disorienting jolt. Must be soil or loose earth.
Saber- Visel can bend electricity around her sword to create a sustained current of electricity around it. Visell can also sustain a cutting bolt of electricity around
Pylon- Similar to Saber except for she is able to swing an arch of sustained electricity that runs on the ground.

Manifestation

Electrostatic Blast is used when an Electrophage excites the positive electrons in or around an opponent or object and overcharges the negative electrons in their body with their mutated nerve ending causing the negative and positive electrons to attract creating a short, one-shot high voltage electrical bolt, zapping the desired target. The attack is staccato. It appears a quick bolt of lightning, if you blink you miss it.
Manifest first as a few strands of spring up static from her charging hand and the target, then a twisting purplish-white bolt of lighting accompanied by visible pop of air and residual strands of electricity. The accompanying blast of air can knock enemies back.
Visell uses the sword as a conduit for the electricity instead of her hands. Visell uses a series of stiff, short, guards, swings, and jabs with her sword arm and kicks to activate her lightning powers when fighting.

Source

The Electrophages mutated nerve endings as well as the specialized brain mutilations that help them sense and manipulate electromagnetic fields and currents. They eventually act like living generators.
Visell's horns are an extension of the mutation. They are made of a specialized bone and packed with nerve endings enabling her to sense significantly better than other Electrophages. Her horns are actually quite sensitive to touch and when they get cracked it deals great pain to her.
The Electrophage senses the electrons in between them and their targes and excites them creating a path of electric current.

Discovery

In the Gizo-Jin: Lion era 2020-2040. The Electrophahge powers were discovered and categorized by Japanese Scientists.

Material Components

Can be used through conductive objects and surfaces like steel, iron, copper, and other conductive metals.

Gestures & Ritual

You can activate and strengthen the power by using it through a conductive conduit as to not damage or overexert the nerve endings.
Visell uses her sword to do so. This is Visell's most effective and most used power. She uses this in between her usually fighting styles; in between motions of her Bunchi stance, she switches to a co-opted boxing stance, with her legs close together, walking like forwarding motion with her booking arm close to her face. incorporate short swings and jabs to create an Electrostatic blast at medium range. She can also use her fist at short ranges.

Electricity

Effect Duration

depends on the strike.

Effect Casting Time

Depends on how strong you want the blast to be. Average strength is about 5 seconds. killing bolts about 15 seconds.

Range

Feasible anywhere from less then a foot to up about 15 feet away.

Level

Any Electro-phage can do it.

Applied Restriction

Prolonged use through the hands can damage nerve endings and burn the skin. Though Electrophages are resilient to this it is a real possibility.
This is known as Electroplastitic overload. This is a condition where and ElectroPhages nerves "overheat" or become incredibly overly sensitized to the point where a gust of wind causes a sensation of burning. any sort of stimuli becomes unbearable or painful and it takes about 5 days for the nerves to come back to normal sensitivity. Multiple bouts with EPO can cause nerve destruction and internal burning of muscles.
This also takes some training and concentration to be able to focus on the electron excitement, especially while fighting.
General fatigue from mild concentration and energy transfer.
Return stroke is a fairly low-stakes power. It can be used relatively quickly with a fairly short time needed to concentrate. While using it through the hands can cause burning through extended use, conduits can be used for the energy transfer. The power is ineffective against any enemies with anti-static shielding, rubber insulation, and other ElectroPhages.
Return stroke Atomos requires 1.) A decent amount of clouds in the area used. 2.) 5-10 seconds of concentration.
Current and Pylon require the user to stand still and is best used with a conduit or the user runs the risk of nerve damage. They take at least 10-15 seconds to charge.
