I’m not sure if this counts as a spell or not since it’s like, an extension of the rare change I submitted for recently? BUT I’M SUBMITTING IT AS A COMPLEX SPELL I GUESS. Combining an idea from Quix with something similar to what Kates has up there for Strange.
ELEMENTAL FORM: Over the course of Shabon I want Peridot to have upped her electricity control to the point where she can now alter her natural light into the form of pure electricity. This lets her zap herself into metallic and electronic objects in order to either power them up or fry them from the inside. While casting this spell, she turns into a small and sentient shifting mass of electricity. She has a few limitations while like this: She can’t see or hear anything in this state, nor can she talk. She also needs to have something metallic or electronic nearby that she can zap into if she wants to maintain the form for any length of time; without something to conduct her energy through, she’ll just flash into an electric mass for about a second and then fizzle back out into her regular form, having uselessly burned a bit of her own energy.
Striking simple metallic objects with this form doesn’t do much other than letting her pass through it on one side and exit through the other. For example, a pipe or a lightning rod shaped object would let her travel the length of it and reemerge on the other end. Zapping into more complex objects like computers and machinery lets her get a bit more complex. She can ping off different components to manipulate them, overload and break circuitry, or power up internal batteries to bring dormant machinery back to life. She can also provide a perpetual energy source for her own creations, although powering things up takes a chunk of her own energy proportional to the size of the device.
Bonuses while she's in this form: she's super fast, obviously. She's also immune to basic physical damage, because even if you can catch lightning, you can't really punch or stab it.
