Time To Go Bzzzt
Electricity's personality changes drastically with voltage! Low voltage current is like that rule-following nerd who politely asks for permission slips—following conductors and obeying Ohm's law by taking paths of least resistance. High voltage, though? Total chaos energy. It transforms into a raging beast that creates its own conductive plasma channel through AIR ITSELF. That lightning bolt isn't asking for permission—it's tearing through the dielectric breakdown voltage of air (~3 million V/m) and ionizing a path wherever it pleases. It's basically electricity going from "may I please use the designated pathway?" to "I'LL MAKE MY OWN PATH THROUGH LITERAL SPACE!"
