==Description==

You become empowered by the swift strength and destructive fury of a fierce storm, lightning crackling from your eyes for the duration of the spell. Wind under your feet enables you to travel at 200% normal speed (effects do not stack with [[haste]], [[expeditious retreat]] and similar spells) and prevents you from being [[knockdown|knocked down]] by any force short of death. Missile weapons fired at you are deflected harmlessly. Finally, almost all melee attacks you make do an additional 3d6 points of electrical damage.

== Notes ==

* The additional electrical damage is not applied when fighting unarmed in standard shape.
** Additional damage does not work at all with shapes that cannot be buffed with [[Flame Weapon]] (such as Wolves, Spiders, and Boars).
** The additional damage is also not applied after changing form while fighting unarmed.
** In fact, extra damage from this spell is applied as bonus to single weapon, so it functions pretty much in same way as Flame Weapon or similar spell.

* The "deflection of missile weapons" is provided by 100% [[concealment]] against ranged attacks. This includes [[Touch attack|ranged touch attack]]s such as [[Eldritch Blast]] and [[Polar Ray]], but not spells such as [[Isaac's Greater Missile Storm]].

* Deflection of ranged projectiles does not work if a critical hit is scored.

* Changing shape while under the effect of the spell can lead to unexpected results, like removal of spell visuals and electrical damage effect.
