Appropriately, the category falls into the Refinement of Tin, which focuses on spite and revenge -- just the category where you'd put the Wrath of God.

(It takes one of the highest-level Electrification Transmutations to produce electricity clean of Torment.)

* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'': Thunder was one of the least impressive types in the early days of the game, though [[DemBones Daemon Summon/Summoned Skull]] used electricity in the source material. The original "Forbidden Spell" Raigeki is lightning-based, and the type did introduce a few powerful monsters like The Creator and Hamon - Lord of Striking Thunder. But the type itself only began to shine when they introduced Thunder-type archetypes such as the Watts and Batterymen. Then, in 2018, they expanded on Thunder Dragon, one of the oldest and most well-known Thunder monsters, into a full and formidable archetype.
