This spell is the creation of a little known storm sorcerer, an adventurer and scholar from the Menagerie Coast of Wildemount, one Ulric Belranne. After acquiring a powerful artifact known as the Crown of Storms, Ulric discovered that a unique synergy happened between the Crown and his Storm Giant-inherited magics, which allowed him to generate an entirely new magical effect when wearing it.
Upon casting the spell, the caster's body becomes somewhat insubstantial, appearing as a ghostly outline of swirling air, and lightning begins to dance through their veins, while their eyes glow an incandescent bluish-white, also arcing out little sparks of electricity. A vortex of wind forms around the lower legs and feet of the caster, lifting them into the air. Four globes of arcing, sizzling ball lightning spring from the core of the caster's body and begin orbiting rapidly around the caster along differing axis. The spheres orbit around the caster at a range of 5' generating an electrical field.
The following effects take place:
- If not already flying, the caster will begin to hover 5' off the ground, and can move up to its movement speed as normal, but ignores difficult terrain.
- While in this form, any weapon attacks made against the caster are at disadvantage, due to the swirling wind and arcing lightning within the field.
- As a bonus action, the caster can have the spheres launch lightning bolts, either at one target or spread among others. The caster makes a ranged spell attack, and upon hit, the target suffers 1d8 lightning dmg per strike.
