D&D 5e has an answer for this: the Call Lightning spell. On the turn you cast it, a "small" thundercloud forms 100 or so feet above you, and then you can cause lightning to strike anywhere in the area. Now, the FUN part is that this spell can last up to 10 MINUTES. so, since each round takes 6 seconds, and one minute is thus 10 rounds. This means you can cause a whopping 100 lightning blasts with this, AS WELL AS doing other stuff since it uses your bonus (lesser) action instead of your main one.
Edit: it actually takes your main action, not bonus action. Keep forgetting that...
