Thunderbolt「
Description[]
Gilthunder is highly skilled at utilizing Thunderbolt, using the power to greatly increase his physical capabilities and allow him to move at extraordinary speeds.[2]
The power is remarkably versatile and can be used in a number of ways, allowing him to perform such feats as creating rings of lightning that bind and paralyze his opponents[3] or imbuing his sword with lightning and stabbing it into the ground to seal off an underground water source.[4][5] By imbuing a weapon with lightning, its destructive potential vastly increases.[6] In addition to being able to channel lightning through weaponry, he can discharge large amounts of it from his body.[7]
Thunderbolt also grants the user a degree of control over the weather, allowing them to call forth large thunderstorms.[8][9]
