The storm represents unbridled power. Its winds can tear homes from the ground, its rains can flood cities, and its lightning can set forests aflame. Most monastic schools forbid fighting styles inspired by the storm, considering them too dangerous. However, a loose collection of outcast monks, enticed by the storm's power, have begun developing techniques that channel its winds and lightning. Monks who follow the Way of the Storm Surge are capable of channelling the storm's power into their fists

Storm Surge

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can use infuse your ki based attacks with the power of the storm. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:

• Windswept Kick: You sweep your legs, bringing the wind with you. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
• Thunderpunch: A booming echo rings out as you connect with the target, and it must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
• Static Shock: Electrical energy surges through the target's body, and it can’t take reactions until the end of your next turn.

Synaptic Pulse

At 6th level, can call electrical energy to pulse through your body, improving your reflexes. Once per turn, if you’ve already taken your reaction, you may spend 1 ki point to take an additional reaction. You can only use one reaction per trigger.

Redirect Lightning

Beginning at 11th level, you can redirect currents of electrical energy to fuel powerful attacks. You gain resistance to Lightning damage. Additionally, you may spend 4 ki points to cast the Lightning Bolt spell as a 3rd level spell. If you cast this spell on your first turn after taking Lightning damage, you cast it as a 5th level spell. 

Avatar of the Storm

At 17th level, you can use an action and spend 5 ki points to bend the storm to your will for one minute. For the duration, storm clouds cover the sky, heavy rain falls from the heavens, and you gain the following benefits:

• The winds of the storm whip around you, under your control and carrying you along their currents. You gain a fly speed equal to your current walking speed.
• Your fists and weapons crackle with the lightning of the storm, arcing into anyone you attack. When you hit a creature with a monk weapon or an unarmed strike, you deal additional lightning damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.
