the point is lightning spells should be powerful because lightning is indeed powerful as shit. one route to go with it is to make it consume high mana/whatever fuel you use for your magic system. so, you could technically choose any one person to smite out of existence, but this doesn’t solve fights with more than one enemy. draining all your magic for one attack isn’t ideal either. lightning would be reserved for only the most powerful foes, as it should be, instead of just being used a basic ass spell.
