You bind an entire planet's atmospheric charge to a single point of release. A civilization-scale storm forms above the target region and discharges for hours. Tier IV power grids are crippled — substations, fusion taps, and orbital tethers within range fail and require years of replacement work. Every Tier III or lower vehicle, sensor, and weapon in the region is dead silicon. The local weather pattern is permanently destabilized, producing chronic storms for at least a decade. The caster cannot channel Arc effects for one year afterward.
