Effects

It has 4 in 5 chance of spreading. It'll try to move to ground tiles first.

A character standing in an electricity field will recieve damage to all body parts ("You're electrocuted!"). Additionally, there is a 1/8 chance for that character to be paralyzed ("You're paralyzed!"). Characters with an artifact that resists electricity aren't affected by this ("The electricity flows around you.").

Creatures will be damaged and their movement points will be reduced relative to the density of the electricity field.
