==Background==

The true essence of Electromagnetism exists on the threshold of the Ethereal and the Physical Realms. While it is very efficient to transform [[Mana]] into electrical energy, it is extremely difficult to control. This [[spell]] calls into being multiple pockets of lightning which seem to have a will of their own.

==Skill Effects==

The following is a very quick list. See the [[Shock Pulse rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

==Skill Design==

The spell familiar from [[Diablo I]] and [[Diablo II]] returns in [[Diablo III]]. As Charged Bolt did previously, Shock Pulse sends out a smattering of randomly-scattering charges, each of which deal minor damage to any enemy that passes over them. The strength of Shock Pulse comes not from the damage of each bolt, but from the carpeting effect of repeated casts, since it's a spell with very low [[resource]] cost. These can turn the floor into a field of death for any enemy without lightning immunity.
