“ Fools see only danger in storms.

They have intimate knowledge of anatomy and physiology and know exactly where and how to deliver their lightning bolts, ensuring maximally effective healing or damage. In battle, galvanists prefer to avoid danger, using their skills to attack foes from a distance and keep their allies in fighting shape. Some galvanists, unsatisfied with merely restoring life, set out to create it themselves. Calling themselves necro-galvanists, they stitch together corpses and bolt electrically-conductive apparatuses into their twisted creations (consider using a flesh golem or some variety of zombie to represent a necro-galvanist's creation).
