Bolt of Divine Retribution	comment	Annoying the Lord of the cosmos with such things as blasphemy, declaring yourself a god, refusing to go along with Because Destiny Says So, and refusing to believe in him despite all evidence to the contrary tends to be a good way to incur his wrath. The most common form of this aforementioned wrath? A lightning bolt to the face. Said lightning tends to come out of nowhere (even indoors) and sends the very clear message that the big guy upstairs is not to be trifled with. A God of Thunder is almost always throwing these out. If God Is Evil, this could happen to anyone For the Evulz. If God Is Good, then only the wicked will live in fear of it. Occurs in both Classical Mythology and The Bible, making this Older Than Feudalism. In Tabletop Games, this may be used as a more localized form of Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies, designed to let the Game Master strike down the annoying Munchkin ruining the game without too much collateral damage. In a commonly seen sub-trope, a character will swear that if they're lying, may God strike them down. God, of course, immediately obliges. Closely related to Heaven Above, since if the sky is divine, then lightning from it will be considered godly too. Compare Holy Hand Grenade and Death from Above. Not to be confused with Dramatic Thunder. Unrelated to Personal Raincloud, though that often involves bespoke lightning bolts as well. A possible final result of God Is Displeased. Gaia's Vengeance could involve lightning bolts, but in that trope the "divine" being is usually less personified. noreallife Examples

While Sara calls down a lightning bolt to strike down the enemies of the Raiden Shogun, Mikoâ€™s is due to how sheâ€™s a sky fox, and she can increase the number of bolts that strike down when she deploys her turrets. This gets subverted in Arataki Ittoâ€™s voice lines. In his voice line about thunder storms, he dares the Raiden Shogun to strike him down. The Shogun however, doesnâ€™t even know who is he.

This occurs entirely thanks to their god, Vkandis, finally getting fed up with his priesthood's corrupt and demon-summoning ways and deciding to answer the invocation at the country's annual high holy ceremony by immolating a good bit of the highest orders of his priesthood — and that just for starters.

While it isn't clear if the lightning bolt actually was Divine Intervention or just a lucky coincidence, it certainly was a well-deserved punishment for what she did. Fantasia: Zeus does this, mostly because he's bored. This is not out-of-character for him as depicted in most of the original myths, either. Hercules: Phil initially refuses to tutor Herc, not believing he's the son of Zeus — and failing to see the ominous black clouds gathering above him.

He concludes that clearly kissing God's ass is getting him nowhere. In "Pray Anything", Homer starts praying for all sorts of things but when he commands God to turn the rain into wine, he gets struck by lightning. After getting the part of Jesus in a Passion play, Homer starts going around in costume to openings of a local loan sharks' businesses, proclaiming them to be honest or his name isn't Jesus H... needless to say, he gets hit, then proceeds to shout at the sky to find out if that's going to happen every time (he's on his fiftieth opening at this point). When Little Miss Springfield Amber Dempsey gets struck by lightning at a store opening, runner-up Lisa is sworn in as the new LMS. Krusty teases Lisa with the scepter a couple of times, before being struck by lightning himself.

Bolt of Divine Retribution / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls: Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, had this as his personal method of attack, which also happened to be the one weakness of the Everlasting Dragons. He shared this ability with his knights as well: many of them wield weapons imbued with electricity, and some are even able to throw lightning bolts much like Gwyn himself, though Gwyn's still tended to be a heck of a lot more potent. In the first game, only the Warriors of Sunlight (ideological descendants of Gwyn's army) still possess this power, but in later games, the Miracles that grant lightning power have become well-known, if somewhat rare, and most high-level clerics and/or holy warriors are able to perform them. While Gwyn lost this power when he gave up his Lord Soul and Linked the Fire, he wields lightning bolts again when he incarnates one last time within the Soul of Cinder.

In the Tales of Destiny remake and Tales of Graces F, the blast radius effectively covers the whole screen. In Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Vesperia, and both Berseria and Zestiria it's a Mystic Arte that is at least the second mystic arte for the character who gets it and takes a certain amount of work to unlock. It's also found in the hands of enemies as this, such as the Optional Boss of Abyss. Tales of Destiny gives Philia the Rebirth Crusader Blast Calibur. She summons a single bolt of lightning to hit Clemente like a lightning rod and causes the entire screen to explode. Tales of Destiny 2 introduces the Divine Saber spell that hits all enemies in range with multiple bolts of lightning. It retains its light element even in games with a separate lightning element.

(For the uninitiated, Talos is not just a powerful evil deity, but in fact the god of lightning.) You're ordered to swear that you worship him, with failure to do so being proof you're an impostor. If you really are a cleric of Talos, you can do so safely and get the item, but if you try to do it when you aren't one, you're struck by lightning — indoors. However, if you're wearing the cloak that reflects lightning, the bolt bounces off and fries the cleric instead. This stops the cutscene dead, allowing you to just take the item you need off his corpse instead of fighting his mooks first.

Bolt of Divine Retribution / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld parodies this from time to time. The gods are petty and unsubtle, and lightning strikes are their favorite way of making a point. As one book puts it, a man who goes around the disc arguing that gods don't exist tends to be found later as a pair of still-smoking shoes next to a sign reading "YES WE DO." Feet of Clay: Dorfl (a ceramic golem) declares his atheism, and challenges the priests to prove their gods' existence. A lightning bolt later, he notes afterward that being struck by lightning isn't much of a logical argument. He is probably the safest atheist on the Disc, by virtue of being immune to lightning bolts. Small Gods: Averted with Sergeant Simony. Simony comes face-to-face with the god Om, speaks to him, and still refuses to accept that he is real. Om leaves him alone, as particularly vitriolic and convinced atheists are nearly as valuable to gods as true believers. "Charcoal" Abraxes is the other sort of atheist, the kind that says it's not worth worrying about gods at all. His nickname suggests how the gods feel about that. The book contains the quote "...gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at." When the Tyrant says trouble started after the Omnian missionary pushed over the statue of Tuvelpit, the Ephebian god of Wine, Vorbis asks mockingly if he was then struck by lightning. The Tyrant says no, he was struck by an amphora of wine, because Tuvelpit was in the crowd and threw it. For most of the book, Om is too starved of genuine faith to manage any lightning bolts, and trapped in the form of a small tortoise. But with the help of an eagle he manages a similar effect by crashing into the villain's head as he's attempting to execute the hero. In one description of the Disc, it mentions that it's the kind of world where gods go around breaking atheists' windows. In the page quote, it's probably worth noting that Offler responded to this accusation by trying to hit the speaker with a lightning bolt. Fortunately it bent at right angles a few feet above his head and hit the floor instead. Being high priest of Io, chief of the gods has perks. In The Last Continent, when the God of Evolution is getting "testy", small lightning bolts start arcing near the wizards, while the god apologizes for this autonomous reflex he has very little control over.

The most traditional one is probably Flame Strike, which explicitly calls a column of fire (sometimes with other damage types mixed in, such as untyped damage in 3.5 or radiant damage in 5th edition) down upon its target area. Call Lightning is another obvious example. Forgotten Realms: Divine retribution via lightning bolt is not that common, as Talos the god of storms is very possessive of his exclusive dominion over lightning in FaerÃ»n. And also an asshole. Inverted in Mulhorand, where the war-god Anhur has been known to publicly strike his favored followers with spectacular lightning bolts that do them no harm, the better to convince skeptical Mulhorandis that their mission is a holy one. In 5th Edition, clerics with the Tempest Domain gain the ability to strike enemies with retalatory bolts of lightning after being struck with a melee attack.

Following that, attempts to light his ship on fire are foiled by rain and a strong tailwind allows Luffy and his crew to get away, prompting local marines to question if some divine force wanted to make sure Luffy survives. It's implied that a man later revealed to be Luffy's father caused the bizarre storm. Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, has Zeus, a living storm cloud created from her Soul-Soul Fruit powers, who can bring down lightning whenever he or Big Mom wants.

The Abrahamic God otherwise is rarely depicted as using lightning specifically, preferring fire and brimstone. The Prophet Elijah was known to call on God to bring fire from the sky. He called on it to win a contest with the priests of Baal. Later, he called it down on a group of 50 soldiers sent by Ahaziah, who was upset about a prophecy that he wouldn't survive injuries sustained from a nasty fall he'd had simply because he'd dared to think of consulting a false god about the matter. Then fire was called down on the 50 soldiers Jezebel sent after that. The Captain of the third group of 50 soldiers asked Elijah not to kill them; but this wouldn't stop them. God changed tactics after that, and Elijah came with them willingly so he could personally confirm the prophecy to Ahaziah, who died shortly after.

Unlike her other Holy Hand Grenade ranged attacks, it doesn't inflict a stun or debuff; in exchange, it has the lowest damage penalty and heals the Vestal when it hits, also making it better at stress recovery for her (the game checks criticals for the damage and the healing separately, meaning that if one doesn't come up the other might).

As he's showing it to Peter, he looks up in time to see storm clouds suddenly forming out of nowhere. Referenced in the second arc to feature Peter minding Fauntleroy (a tiny and fiercely territorial dog). In that arc's first strip (published July 29, 2002), he tells Paige that he swore if he ever said "yes" to dog-sitting the little psycho again, may he be struck by lightning.

The knights were about to be overrun when a sudden earthquake rocked the city, doing no damage beyond toppling a statue of the goddess from the temple roof and sending it crashing on top of the Arabyan emir and his guard, killing them instantly. This ended up turning the tide of the battle, and the knights swore themselves to Myrmidia's faith. Caradryan is the chosen champion of the elven Top God Asuryan and the Captain of the Phoenix Guard, the guardians of the Shrine of Asuryan on Ulthuan. If Caradryan is slain before the time Asuryan has appointed for him, Asuryan becomes pissed and wallops the unit responsible with a bout of holy flame. This inflicts D3 Wounds that cannot be armour saved against. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: A quote in the section on folk worship in Archives of the Empire: Vol III is by a man arguing that, since gods depend on the worship of mortals, they should be humanity's servants rather than the other way around.

When the statue is attacked, be it by the player or enemy, the offending party is struck by lightning that deals heavy damage and bypasses guard effects.

Bolt of Divine Retribution / int_ec9155b1	comment	Small Gods: Averted with Sergeant Simony. Simony comes face-to-face with the god Om, speaks to him, and still refuses to accept that he is real. Om leaves him alone, as particularly vitriolic and convinced atheists are nearly as valuable to gods as true believers. "Charcoal" Abraxes is the other sort of atheist, the kind that says it's not worth worrying about gods at all. His nickname suggests how the gods feel about that. The book contains the quote "...gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at." When the Tyrant says trouble started after the Omnian missionary pushed over the statue of Tuvelpit, the Ephebian god of Wine, Vorbis asks mockingly if he was then struck by lightning. The Tyrant says no, he was struck by an amphora of wine, because Tuvelpit was in the crowd and threw it. For most of the book, Om is too starved of genuine faith to manage any lightning bolts, and trapped in the form of a small tortoise. But with the help of an eagle he manages a similar effect by crashing into the villain's head as he's attempting to execute the hero.

Another card called Divine Punishment does the same thing but doesn't require a payment to activate and also works on traps and spells, but only works if the field spell Sanctuary in the Sky is in play, and shows the sanctuary sending down bolts of lightning. Also, Solemn Strike depicts a divine figure using one to strike down Condemned Maiden for her use of the Forbidden items.

In the episode "A Friendly Game", SpongeBob and Patrick's plan to play a game of golf together is ruined by a thunderstorm. Patrick commands the storm to stop (with his putter raised in the air) and is promptly struck by lightning.
