Additionally, the electricity will randomly arc to adjacent creatures around the target, with each 1000 charge expended allowing for 1 additional arc. Each arc will reduce damage slightly. | ||
Electrical Generation also provides the "Power devices", ability, which can be toggled on or off. It allows the creature to provide [[Energy|charge]] to artifacts and devices with onboard power systems, such as items with the [[jacked]] modification. Devices drawing power in this way will take from the creature's charge pool and will require the same amount of power as normal. Power supplied by Electrical Generation can stack with the power supplied by a {{favilink|biodynamic power plant}} to provide power to jacked objects with a larger charge draw than either could support alone. | Electrical Generation also provides the "Power devices", ability, which can be toggled on or off.

A major component of using Electrical Generation effectively is controlling the direction of electrical arcs as much as possible, hitting several enemies with a single arc. This is made challenging by the fact that Discharge can only be used against adjacent objects, and that arcs tend to travel better through physical media than through air. | A major component of using Electrical Generation effectively is controlling the direction of electrical arcs as much as possible, hitting several enemies with a single arc.

As such, Electrical Generation synergizes well with abilities that construct a continuous path between points. For instance, you can use {{favilink|Spinnerets}} to lay down a path of webs, or {{favilink|Force Wall}} to construct a forcefield between yourself and an enemy, directing your electric arcs towards enemies. Creating [[Gas]] between you and your target also enables you to use the ability on range, but the direction is harder to control if the gas spreads in unwanted ways.

As an upside, {{f|Plasma}} will also lower the enemy's electrical resistance and is accessible to everyone in late game. The demo below (run with the "Draw electrical arcs" option enabled) shows an example of using Force Wall to hit several distant enemies at once. | ||
