    This isn't an "issue" as such, but I just noticed that Big Zap, Zap, Little Zap etc are all Arcane damage types, not Electrical. That's probably by design, but I just wanted to check, in case it's a bug - the name "zap" to me suggests electricity...?

    Zap is the sound that projected energy makes in comics its not related to electricity specifically as far as i know.

    We went back and forth on this for ages. We ended up with "Spark" being electrical and "Zap" being arcane.

    Sweet, makes sense.

    So which camp does "Fizzzz-Pa-Chow!" fall into? ;-)

    Sweet.
    Then . . . may I request that you rename the Copper Sparking Wand (contains only Big Zaps), Chain Of The Hot Spark (contains only Penetrating Zaps), Etched Zapstaff (contains two types of Spark), Zapping Staff (contains two types of Spark), Brass Sparking Wand (some Penetrating Zaps in there), Wooden Spark Wand (contains two types of Zap) and others?
