Spells

Stormcaller has 8 lightning spells, like each school of Wizards: one for the wand (tier 0), one for the staff (tier 1) and six in the Tome of Lightning (tiers 2 to 4, two each). All of them deal damage of the school spell_power:lightning, which scales with Lightning Spell Power. They look like lightning but are no vanilla lightning bolts: they never start fires and never turn pigs or creepers.

Overview

Damage is a factor of your Lightning Spell Power (0.57 = 57 % of it per hit). Shock is the base chance per hit; your Shock Chance is added to it (see Shock).

Spell	Tier	Source	Cast	Cooldown	Range	Damage	Shock	Special
Spark	0	Lightning Wand	1 s	–	48	0.57 per hit	10 %	Jumps to 1 more target
Lightning Bolt	1	Lightning Staff and all lightning staves, Wizard Staff	1.1 s	–	64	0.76 per hit	15 %	Very fast bolt, jumps to 2 more targets
Chain Lightning	2	Tome	1 s	8 s	32	0.665 per hit	20 %	Jumps to up to 4 more targets (5 hits), same damage on each
Lightning Nova	2	Tome	0.5 s	10 s	radius 6	0.475	always	Around you, knockback, stuns 1.5 s
Static Shield	3	Tome	instant	30 s	self	0.38 to the attacker	50 %	8 s: melee attackers are struck back, −10 % damage taken
Lightning Strike	3	Tome	1 s	10 s	32	0.95 to every target	50 %	Bolt from the sky, radius 3
Thunderstorm	4	Tome	instant	24 s	32	0.28 per hit	25 %	Cloud for 6 s, strikes up to 3 random enemies beneath it every second
Storm Elemental	4	Tome	instant	30 s	16	through its Lightning Bolt	15 % (its bolt)	Summon for 30 s that fights at your side

Costs

• Without RunelessRPG every spell costs one Lightning Rune (runes:lightning_stone), like the Wizards spells cost their runes. See Getting started for the rune recipes.
• With RunelessRPG they cost mana by their tier, like the Wizards spells. No rune is needed and none is used; the tooltip shows the mana cost instead of the rune.

Tier	Spells	Mana (RunelessRPG defaults)
0	Spark	4
1	Lightning Bolt	5
2	Chain Lightning, Lightning Nova	7
3	Static Shield, Lightning Strike; Ball Lightning of the Stormbringer Staff	10
4	Thunderstorm, Storm Elemental	14

The Storm Orb, all passives (Skyfall, Stored Charge, Ball Lightning of the relic, Static Lodestone, the skill tree passives), the hits of the Ball Lightning and the spells of the Storm Elemental cost nothing. The Ball Lightning of the Stormbringer Staff costs like a tier 3 spell (one rune, or 10 mana with RunelessRPG).

Spark (tier 0)

Cast with the Lightning Wand and the Netherite Lightning Wand. A spark that flies to the target and jumps to one more enemy within 6 blocks. Each hit deals 0.57 × Lightning Spell Power and has a 10 % shock chance.

Lightning Bolt (tier 1)

Cast with every lightning staff and with the Wizard Staff of Wizards (see Getting started). A very fast bolt (speed 3) that jumps to 2 more enemies within 7 blocks: 0.76 per hit, 15 % shock chance.

Chain Lightning (tier 2)

A fast bolt that jumps through up to 4 more enemies within 8 blocks, so up to 5 hits. Every hit deals the full 0.665 and rolls its own 20 % shock chance; there is no damage drop from jump to jump. The next target is searched around the enemy that was hit. Cooldown 8 s.

The Fulgurite Robe set bonus adds one more jump and 10 % damage (see Equipment).

Lightning Nova (tier 2)

Discharges lightning around you: all enemies within 6 blocks (half that height) take 0.475, are knocked back and are always shocked. Normal enemies are stunned for 1.5 s, bosses are slowed instead (see Shock). Cooldown 10 s.

Static Shield (tier 3)

Charges you for 8 s. While it lasts:

• you take 10 % less damage (value in config/stormcaller/effects.json, see Configuration),
• an enemy that hits you in melee is struck back for 0.38 with a 50 % shock chance. Only attackers whose hitbox is at most 4 blocks away count, at most one counter-strike per tick. Projectiles, explosions, magic and spell damage do not trigger it (damage type tag #stormcaller:static_shield/ignored, packs can extend it).

Instant cast, cooldown 30 s.

Lightning Strike (tier 3)

Calls a bolt from 16 blocks above down onto the target. Every enemy within 3 blocks of the impact takes the full 0.95 and rolls a 50 % shock chance. Tighter and harder than the Fire Meteor of Wizards. Cooldown 10 s.

Thunderstorm (tier 4)

Calls a thunder cloud above the target for 6 s; you can keep moving. Every second its lightning strikes up to 3 enemies beneath it within 4 blocks, chosen at random (each at most once per second), for 0.28 each with a 25 % shock chance. With 3 or fewer enemies, all of them are hit. The cloud hits 6 times and reaches up to just below the cloud, so it also hits flying enemies. No knockback. Instant cast, cooldown 24 s.

The limit of 3 targets is the marker stormcaller:max_targets/3 in the spell file, see Changing spell values. The Stormweave Robe set bonus makes the storm 2 s longer and its radius 1 block larger.

Storm Elemental (tier 4)

Summons a Storm Elemental for 30 s. It follows you (teleports when it is more than 32 blocks away), attacks hostile enemies on its own and casts Lightning Bolt at them about once per second, with its own spell power. Its shocks use your Shock Chance. Instant cast, cooldown 30 s (not reduced by Spell Haste).

Values of the elemental (base values from config/stormcaller/summoned_entities.json, scaling from the spell file). Example: with 10 Lightning Spell Power it has 40 health, 5.5 armor and 7 Lightning Spell Power.

Attribute	Base	Plus per point of your Lightning Spell Power
Max health	30	+1
Armor	5	+0.05
Attack damage	4	+0.5
Lightning Spell Power	1 + 1.5	+0.45
Attack knockback	–	+0.1
Knockback resistance	2.5 (Minecraft caps it at 1, so it is never knocked back)	+0.025
Movement speed	0.25	–
Follow range	32	–

Like the Frost Elemental of Wizards, it stays for its full time when you die, log out or change dimension.
