You follow a monastic tradition that teaches you to harness the power of electricity. You focus your ki, transmuting it into electricity that you bend to your will, not only allowing you to unleash devastating thunderous attacks, but allowing you to enhance your physical ability. 

Those who follow the Way of the Lightning Palm generally avoid wearing footwear so that they remain grounded, and they typically avoid carrying metallic objects to ensure their ki isn't conducted by the metal.
