Because your lightning attack causes the thunder you dumb fucking nigger

Borderlands 2 Mechromancer has an ability that does that

you think that is stupid you should see the elements on digimons game, it has lightning instead of electricity.

I can understand being burnt, frozen, or electrocutes, but what the fuck is earth, water, or wind damage? It's just slashing or blunt.

>>385135462
Shockwaves are fucking beast. I almost got hit by lightning once. The air burns you a bit just from being nearby and the blast is almost instant but has as much kick as a fucking grenade. Luckily, dirt makes shitty shrapnel. Deafens you, too.

Would again.

Thunder is a direct consequence of lightning, are you high?

Question.
Should lightning be under Fire spells or Wind spells?

>>385137167
I kind of want a game where all spells are onomatopoeia.

>wind element fucks up flying creatures
This has always been just on the precipice of making sense to me. On one hand I guess it makes sense that weaponized wind will fuck up something that flies, on the other hand you'd think that they would be used to dealing with wind.

>>385139703
They're used to dealing with natural air currents.
You're specifically fucking up the air they're using so that it doesn't work for conventional aerodynamics.

Oh my god. Someone make this game. I'll pay $60.

SMT elements make sense to me

>Fire
>Lightning
>Force (Basically wind)

>>385140137
Force is different from wind. Force magic works in a vacuum, but also in any other medium.

>>385139821
It's not just that it can fuck them up, it's that they're weakest to it, in certain games. I guess it depends on how the spell is presented or just how I'm thinking of it, but it always seemed weird to me that they'd object to wind damage more than being set on fire or some shit. and let's be honest 99% of time wind spells look like some pussy shit anyway so that doesn't help

>>385140231
Yeah but they are wind-themed on SMT

>>385136662
>>385136991
>>385137167
>>385139148
Dragon Quest already does this. "Crackle" is actually an ice spell.

>>385137110
It's a thousand times more creative than LWA and has a better soundtrack, but it's not very moe nor funny.

>>385139556
Because we're not fags like you

>>385133557
You can explain this by considering that ice magic is actually entropy magic, and the way we perceive it with our non magical eyes is by seeing the water molecules in the atmosphere turn into ice.

>>385133557
Just take "ice magic" as being "cold magic" opposing fire as "hot magic." And water magic as being literal water.

It's probably due to games having a character limit in their attack names, and thunder has less letters in it than lightning.

>>385141696
Japanese Games use like two characters for each class of magic.
English ports need like 14 to describe Lightning Bolt. Thunder Bolt is 12. Thunder is 7.
