Think of a cross between a weapons-grade laser and a lightning-bolt, but magically generated (or in this case, lux-generated). Potentially very powerful (even lethal if used against living beings), depending on the ability of the caster. Also, it requires focus and practice to aim properly.

I cribbed this from my extensive collection of fantasy novels - RH may be thinking of something different, but given his usage of the term, I don't think so.
When trouble arises and things look bad, there's always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is insane.

Looking at the comic I'd say its some sort of chain effect. Rather then scatering electrisity in all directions in a blast radious, it uses fewer bolts and jumps from one boddy to another, sort of like Gi-zondey on Phantacy star online. I'm probabibly way off though ^^

Then again. . . Would things be kosher if they they had remained un-levined?

A bolt that makes whoever receives it make a whining noise...
Well, "levin" or "le vin" comes from "The Wine" you see. It's a play on words.


No, actually - they fascinate levin nuts.
:wink:
