Storm Fury Combat

When lightning strikes during thunderstorms, all hostile mobs within a 24-block radius become electrically charged for 30 seconds. Charged mobs deal increased damage and their attacks chain to nearby creatures within 5 blocks, spreading damage through electrical arcs.

Mechanics

• Charged State: Mobs display electric particle effects while charged
• Damage Chaining: Melee attacks from charged mobs spread damage to entities within 5 blocks
• Discharge: Charged mobs have a small chance to release a lightning bolt when killed, damaging nearby entities
• Weather-Based: Effect triggers automatically during thunderstorms with no player commands required

Combat Impact

Fighting near multiple mobs during storms becomes dangerous as damage chains unpredictably between creatures. This creates organic difficulty spikes tied to weather events rather than artificial mechanics.
