'''Electricity''' is one of the rarer elemental forces in the Dungeon. Both players and monsters can take advantage of electricity through spells or specially [[brand]]ed weapons, though some monsters also possess innate electric abilities.

==Electricity Damage==
The player has a lot of ways to inflict electricity damage: weapons, spells, god abilities, and an [[evocable]] item. Also, [[Storm Form]] adds electricity damage to your [[Unarmed Combat]] attacks.

Several [[Air Magic]] spells deal electric damage, while weapons of [[electrocution]] have a flat chance to inflict extra damage regardless of your weapon skill. A [[lightning rod]] is another common source of electric damage. Followers of [[Nemelex]] can create electrical explosions by drawing the [[Storm card]], and followers of [[Qazlal]] have access to Upheaval and Disaster Area abilities.

"BEAM_ELEC" damage, comprising most (but not all) electric attacks, ignores 1/2 of the target's [[AC]].

==Electricity Resistance==
Electricity resistance reduces electric damage by 66% (to x33%).

It can be acquired from a number of sources:

'''Item:'''
*[[Staff of air]]
*[[Storm dragon scales]]
*[[Potion of resistance]] (temporary)
*Various [[randart]]s and [[unrand]]s

'''Character:'''
*Black [[Draconian]]s and [[Gargoyle]]s have innate rElec.
*[[Good mutations#Electricity Resistance|Electricity Resistance]] [[mutation]]
*The [[demonspawn mutation]], [[Good mutations#Thin Metallic Scales|Thin Metallic Scales]] 3
*[[Statue Form]] and [[Storm Form]]

===Vulnerability===
Electric vulnerability increases electric damage taken by +50%.

It can be given as part of [[Qazlal]]'s [[divine retribution|wrath]], but is not found anywhere else. No monsters are vulnerable to electric damage.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.18]], rElec reduced damage by 75%.
*Prior to [[0.14]], the [[electrocution]] brand would spread electricity through [[shallow water]], dealing damage to nearby creatures standing in water.
*Prior to [[0.13]], being airborne gave immunity to the [[electrocution]] brand and resistance to [[Static Discharge]].
