** Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, has Zeus, a living storm cloud created from her Soul-Soul Fruit powers, who can bring down lightning whenever he or Big Mom wants.

** One mod kills guards with lightning if they dare mention the words "arrow" and "knee" in the same sentence. The mod maker says that "Even the Divines have grown tired."

** One mod kills guards with lightning if they dare mention the words "arrow" and "knee" in the same sentence. The mod maker says that "Even the Divines have grown tired."" If there is an inconvenient guard nearby you don't want to kill yourself, you can then exploit this by interacting with them until they provoke the bolt.

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'': One quest requires you to pose as a cleric of Talos. (For the uninitiated, Talos is not just a powerful evil deity, but in fact the god ''of'' lightning.) You're ordered to swear that you worship him, with failure to do so being proof you're an impostor. Actually do it, and you're struck by lightning -- ''indoors''. However, if you're wearing the cloak that reflects lightning, the bolt bounces off and fries the cleric instead. This stops the cutscene dead, allowing you to just take the item you need off his corpse instead of fighting his mooks first. On the other hand, if you actually ''are'' a cleric of Talos, [[DevelopersForesight you can swear your loyalty without harm, and get the item without a fight that way.]]

* ''VideoGame/Diablo3'': The Crusader's Fist of the Heavens ability calls down a bolt of lightning, intended to invoke this. A similar spell was in VideoGame/Diablo2 for Paladins as well, but while it dealt lightning damage, its aesthetic was closer to HolyHandGrenade or LightEmUp than it was to ShockAndAwe, unlike 3's version, which is quite clearly and visibly ShockAndAwe.
