Fulgur slowly raised one of the black Raikiri rods toward the heavens. For a brief moment, nothing happened. Then the dark clouds above Lebanon twisted violently as though an invisible giant had plunged its hand into them.
BOOOOOOM!
A pillar of azure lightning descended from the heavens and struck the raised staff with earth-shaking force. The mountain quaked beneath the impact while countless sparks erupted outward, illuminating the surrounding peaks in blinding flashes of blue. The black rod absorbed the torrent greedily until every vein carved into its surface shone like molten sapphire.
The lightning refused to remain contained. Instead, it erupted outward from the staff in every direction.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
