I see, right, per the note of B433 above. ("Localised injury:", ... "including most magical electricity attacks")*

Lightning spells are based on 1d6-1 which can easily be 0. (wall, Ball, sparkstorm, etc), so I think that is the balance.



Thanks everyone!

* I will note an exception is "Lethal Lightning" from GURPS Death Spells p.22 which specifically uses the previous paragraph...
