Serpent Spark

Serpent Spark is a stand-alone dark magic spell that merges electricity with real plasma in an initially contained chain reaction of energy build up to generate a powerful electrical bolt of lightning through a dark magic glyphring to target a single person. This bolt of red lightning can sustain itself for 1.2 seconds. Considering that this bolt expends a thousand teravolts on impact while heated to 3,700 degrees centigrade, contact from this for just 0.2 seconds can be deadly. While charge-up time is significantly heavy, this dark magic execution spell is very powerful and difficult to control. Failure can cause lethal backfire to the wielder trying to use it if done improperly. Due to the nature of this type of magic, this bolt can easily melt flesh in a flash of a second, while objects of any protection level are instantly bypassed and removed.

Effect

Attack Form: Single Electrical Jolt-hold
Attack Type: Dark Magic + Elemental Magical Damage
Glyphring: Dark Magic


Note: Spells labled in glyphring style as "dark magic" represents spells that only exist in dark magic format, and cannot be adapted to Leray magic.

Manifestation

A large red glyphring of dark magic appears around the wielder's wrist while energy is charged for several long moments of time. The buildup of magic into this glyphring becomes volatile and surges outward slightly during the process. Once activated, the bolt of red lightning becomes hot just to be near, often burning the skin of the user slightly. The red arc has an extended range of over 500 meters and a beam radius of 0.3 meters, while the glow itself can light up the sky from the ground. Once impacted, the voltage and hold on the person or object causes irreparable damage that instantly bypasses the veil using numerous variants of lethal agents, mainly the heat and voltage from the bolt alone, dark magic aside. The arc can further extend to nearby conductive materials or people should they be standing close enough to each other.

If the spell backfires, anyone standing close by the wielder from behind will be hit with 28% of the payload of this spell, which is still enough to kill instantly, while the wielder himself would be melted from the upper body down should the spell lose full control.

Applied Restriction

Since this spell uses dark magic, the wielder would need knowledge first of how to tap into dark magical energy. This often involves a deep connection and concentration on such powerful and personal hatred towards one they are targeting during invocation periods. In addition, this ancient spell of the dark arts is one of the most powerful in existence, thus it requires a very high ME count to even attempt executions in training.
