People can do far stranger things than most folks would believe. To me, this is normal. I'm familiar with science and the way many things spread out in a bell curve. I'm also familiar with Nature's tendency to treat DNA like the kitchen junk drawer. A + B means the far ends of that bell curve contain some truly amazing junk.

I do that sometimes too. It's among the more common manifestations of magic, or someone with an unusually high electromagnetic field, or both. I used to fry my office light bulbs about every third week until we switched to compact fluorescents. Those last 2-3 months.

When I take my clothes off in a dark room, sometimes I make a thunderstorm of dancing blue sparks.

So.. Electra as a super-hero name?

Fascinating. Any idea what minimum (in temperature or milliamps) it takes to raise a small blister? That was with me wearing rhodium-plated chain and hematite beads over the back of my hand, on a day with a lot of electricity in the air, and then there was this store with a wool carpet and my then-very-young cousin got mischievous. I wound up with the netting imprinted in pink and a blister under every bead.
On the less-harmful side, I can control the light flow inside a plasma ball without actually touching the glass or setting it to audio response mode. My field is strong enough to make the plasma flow react, usually half an inch to an inch away with my fingertips. With my palm above the top of the glass, I can call all the discharge upward, too.

I'm not actually a lightning elemental, though. That's just one aspect of a hyperdeveloped personal energy field.
And Reality-Wrecking-Ball is so much less elegant.

For the record though, that plasma would be hot enough to vapourise steel, just would'nt last long.
