>+1 Leadership>>DARK PROPHET II: The faithful of your cause are more resistant to enemy effforts to demoralize, and their rebellious tendencies can be more readily stifled.Among the followers most in need of your leadership, the lightning elementals stands out. The last time you let this electrical entity off the leash, it fried several elves—orphaning a few Drowgon, and weakening your ally Jazkarmel’s borderguard.

It MUST be brought to heel.

The elemental immediately tracks your advance—it has no eyes, but you see its flickering go from a low-level and arrhythmic sort to something pulsating; its low energetic hum becomes an angry buzz, such as you’ve heard from your frustrated sons, but amplified as if by a hive. You pause, not cowed but cautious.

The elemental sparks in irritation, but you do not flinch. The air is charged with ionic tension.
