Im re-skinning either ray of frost or fire bolt for lightning damage. Not sure if I want it to be for straight damage or have a “taser” effect with less damage . But either way, which sounds better, shocking blast, shocking bolt or electrify?
Well, I think official content already has something like that. Look for Shocking Grasp if you want it to be meele or Lighting Lure from Sword Coast Adventure's Guide if you want it to be ranged.
Also, I'm suggesting it couse it seems to me that's already what you want for this spell.
How about Zap Bolt? I'd go with the Ray of Frost range and damage die, and give it the Shocking Grasp effect where they can't take reactions. Or else use the Fire Bolt die and no additional effect.
Lightning lure might as well be a melee spell... I was just looking for opinions on a name. I haven’t decided which way I’m going with the re-skin but that’s not what I was inquiring about. I was most curious which name fits a lightning based cantrip better...
Sure, sorry for going other way. Well, I do prefer the re-skin and than name it trough what it does, but the inverse method work as well.
If helpfull, I like the taser thing, Tasering Ray would fit if it has an control effect. Zap Bolt, as mentioned, fits nice as well. Lightning Flush, Stroke of Lightning, Lightning Burst. Well, sorry if the suggestions were too obvious or boring, english isn't my mother language so I'm not sure what could fit better

Oh sorry, you want it as a cantrip, right?
