Lightning manipulations are extremely powerful and burn through armor. Lightning damage ignores DR and ER from any source.
They are also dangerous to the Shaper. A critical failure results in the lightning redirecting back and discharging its energy into the Shaper. A critical failure on the attack roll for any of these results in the Shaper becoming the target of the manipulation and automatically rolling on the Injury Table. In the case of Chain Lightning, the two jumps occur if possible and targets are determined randomly by dice rolls.
