===== Charge Spells =====
You control electrical charges and currents.

Measurement is a little tricky. We use a rough equivalency to "voltage" even though that is technically incorrect, because it is more commonly understood as a general amount of electricity. MP costs are roughly 1 MP per 10 volts. All amounts are at the GM's discretion.
