Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Lightning Mage does not gain any proficiency in weapons or armour.


High-Voltage: This ability, gained at the 1st level of lightning mage, enables the lightning mage to automatically Empower all spells cast with the [electricity] descriptor without increasing their level or casting time. It is not compatible with the Empower Spell metamagic feat (or similar feats), but it is compatible with Maximise Spell.
Current Trick: Every lightning mage has their own techniques, which they call "current tricks." They gain a current trick at every level of this prestige class.Some sample current tricks are as follows:
Insulation
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: The lightning mage gains electricity resistance equal to five times her level in this prestige class. She is also immune to her own electrical attacks.
Shape Lightning
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: The lightning mage can shape her electrical attacks as if she had the sculpt spell metamagic feat, with no increase in spell level or casting time.
Storm Bolt
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: The lightning mage gains the storm bolt reserve feat as a bonus feat. Unlike other current tricks, once the lightning mage gains a new feat slot, she may replace this current trick, with the normal feat, and can choose another current trick in place of this one.

Drain Electricity
Prerequisites: Absorb Electricity,Insulation & Storm Bolt
Current Trick Level: 3
Description: The lightning mage can actually drain the electrical energy out of electrical gadgets or beings with electrical metabolisms as a sort of reverse storm bolt, with the drained energy used to replenish an expended spell with the electricity descriptor, as per Absorb Electricity. Normal beings do not provide enough energy for this current trick, and the lightning mage must have expended a 3rd-level spell with the electricity descriptor.

Energy Mage (Electricity)
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: A lightning mage gains the ceremonial feat Energy Mage (Electricity) as a bonus feat, even if the lightning mage is a standard D & D 3.5 or Pathfinder character. This feat works normally if using the Arcana Evolved magic system. For those using D & D 3.5 or Pathfinder the feat acts as follows:
By using a blue or yellow gem worth 30 gp as a material component, the caster can apply the electricity template to any damaging spell, giving it the electricity descriptor and forcing the target to make a Fortitude save against the original spell DC or be stunned for 1 round (or 2 rounds if the spell already has the electricity descriptor).

Energy Mage (sonic)
Prerequisites: Energy Mage (lightning)
Current Trick Level: 2
Description: A lightning mage gains the ceremonial feat Energy Mage (sonic) as a bonus feat, even if the lightning mage is a standard D & D 3.5 or Pathfinder character. This feat works normally if using the Arcana Evolved magic system. For those using D & D 3.5 or Pathfinder the feat acts as follows:
By using a tuning fork (or a quality musical instrument) worth at least 100 gp as a focus component, the caster can apply the sonic template to any damaging spell, giving it the electricity descriptor and forcing the target to make a Fortitude save against the original spell DC or be deafened for 1 minute per point of damage (or 2 minutes per point of damage if the spell already has the sonic descriptor).

Insulation
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: The lightning mage gains electricity resistance equal to five times her level in this prestige class. She is also immune to her own electrical attacks.

Maximum Power
Prerequisites: Caster level 10+, Storm Bolt, Must be able to prepare spells
Current Trick Level: 5
Description: When first preparing spells, the lightning mage with Maximum Power can select any (or all) spells with the electricity descriptor to do maximum damage without increasing the spell's level or casting time. However, such a maximised spell cannot have any other metamagic feats or current tricks applied to it and cannot power any reserve feats (such as storm bolt).

Minor Multiple Metamagics
Prerequisites: Shape Lightning, plus at least two +1 metamagic feats (including sculpt spell)
Current Trick Level: 2
Description: Lightning mages with this current trick can add a number of +1 metamagic feats equal to the characters level in the lightning mage prestige class to any of their spells with the electricity descriptor without increasing the spell's level or casting time. The character can only apply metamagic feats the caster already has.

Shape Lightning
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: The lightning mage can shape her electrical attacks as if she had the sculpt spell metamagic feat, with no increase in spell level or casting time.

Storm Bolt
Prerequisites: None
Current Trick Level: 1
Description: The lightning mage gains the storm bolt reserve feat as a bonus feat. Unlike other current tricks, once the lightning mage gains a new feat slot, she may replace this current trick, with the normal feat, and can choose another current trick in place of this one.

Thunderbolt Fists
Prerequisites: Insulation, Knowledge (nature) 4 ranks, Storm Bolt
Current Trick Level: 3
Description: The lightning mages with Thunderbolt Fists can now apply the born with three thunders feat not only to their electrical spells but also to their storm bolt reserve feat. Furthermore, their Insulation class feature now also protects against sonic damage as well as electrical damage, so the born with three thunders feat no longer dazes the lightning mage.
