  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: 4 hours

You transform yourself in a being of pure lightning with terrible power. You retain your size category and general shape, as well as your existing features and abilities, and for the duration you gain the following benefits.

You glow with a yellow or blue light (your choice), shedding bright light out to a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. You gain a flying speed of 60 feet, and can choose to pass through solid objects, although you take 2d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a solid object.

You have immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You are also immune to lightning damage, and any effect that would deal lightning damage to you instead grants you that many temporary hit points. Any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes 4d12 lightning damage. You can cast lightning bolt as a 3rd-level spell without expending a spell slot. All your spells and abilities ignore other creatures' resistance to lightning damage.
