"The different uses of lightning all come from the basic technique. You've demonstrated a barrage already. The more strenuous applications like chain lightning or force storm are the only things that really require further instruction along the lines of the basic power. However, once you have the basic power, it all becomes how you choose to use it. There are colorful names for a number of ways that historic lords have used lightning, however, as long as you are inventive, you can find your own signature use for the power."
She chuckled again.
"I am a sorceress and a spy. I have no need for summoning an electrical storm that can target everything in a room. However with the manipulation of darkside tendrils and the infusion of lightning, I can incapacitate a subject during interrogation. Rather than rely on sorcery, you have showed the capability for manipulating the power through other means."
She spoke a word in ancient Sith, and from her fingers, blue arcs erupted, wrapped in wisps of black to encircle the closest dummy, binding it like plasma ropes.
"Frankly, Darth Erebos, you are at the level of a lord with your usage. But that doesn't mean you cannot be an innovator for new techniques."
