Origins[]

Georg Wilhelm Richmann was a German physicist in Russia whose work dealt mostly with electricity. One day, he rushed home when he heard thunder to conduct an experiment. During the experiment, some ball lightning struck his head, killing him instantly.

Effects[]

When near an active electrical source, it will absorb all the electricity until it is gone. It then stores this energy until it releases it as ball lightning.
