Lightning Damage is an elemental damage type that is caused by most Air Magic skills, Channeling Magic skills, Wands and Staves linked to the Air Magic, Channeling Magic and Spawning Power attributes and any weapon with a shocking upgrade. While many Air Magic skills have 25% armor penetration, there is no inherent effect of lightning damage.
