    My druid just reached 7th Level and now I can cast Static Charge. It looks like a great spell - call lightning that "you can use indoors" (according to the description).

    Here's my question. How do I cast it? I'm indoors (Under ground in the Dragon's Teeth to be exact) and have been attacked by all sorts of bad things deserving a good shocking. Unfortunately I cannot cast this spell.

    Do I have to look for the +2 slippers of static generating, and then have my druid shuffle his feet around until he builds up some shocking power?

    Or am I missing something???

    I am not sure exactly. I think you just walk around and that thing unloads itself now and then. I think you shouldn't attack with the druid when you cast that spell though

    Cast it and wait...you can cast it before battle so it's already charging. I cast two before tough battles and your druid is free to cast again or attack at will.

    I tried that, and get the message "Static charge dissapates harmlessly"

    Static charge happens multiple times, not just once. If there are no hostile creatures near you, it will do no damage. But next time you run into them, it will...
    Read the spell description.

    As you've figured out by now, I took the "short bus" to magic school! ;D

    Thanks for your help. I've finally fried a few sword spiders and trolls and feel much, much better about myself.

    Now if I can only get Magic Missle to work . . . ;)

    BTW - I don't know if the "short bus" analogy will be funny to non-US folk, so let me know if it makes sense. I'm kind of curious if this is the same phenomena accross the world.

    Has "Static Charge" been nerfed for "Trials", 'cause I am only getting one discharge in my game?

    No. You still get a discharge every 10 rounds.
    If you save your game and reload afterwards the charge is gone however.
