Thunder is a powerful offensive spell. This is a Major treasure. A character who has never gained a Major treasure may gain this treasure normally. Otherwise, the character must first acquire Major Gain specifically to gain this treasure.
For just over two full seconds, the caster extends his dominant arm straight and locks it in place, with the palm held open, as his feet are held firmly against the ground. For the duration of this charging period, the palm glows increasingly bright white-yellow, until finally a bolt of lightning shoots straight out from the caster's arm, tearing viciously into anything in its path. The bolt travels at incredible speed, and is drawn to metal objects such as armor. Using this spell once causes a horrendous, but non-damaging, burning sensation in the caster's hand, preventing them from using it for a brief period as it cools down. Casting Thunder more than once per minute will usually cause extreme, permanent burns to the caster's hand and arm.
The Thunder treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Adventure of Link. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki. The original, canonical Thunder spell called down lightning from the sky, and did not shoot from the caster's arm.
