⚠️ Limitations and Weaknesses

Dissipate

Water conducts your energy, dealing damage: 1 heart/20 ticks in water, 1 heart/35 ticks in rain. During thunderstorms, rain deals no damage. On easy mode, damage is halved.

Metallic Lethargy

When energy drops below 6 points, natural regeneration stops, and you gain slowness and mining fatigue until recovering above 5 points.

Static Interference

Being near copper weakens and slows you (except lightning rods).

As a lightning being, you are immune to fire and lightning strikes.
