{{PAGENAME}} is only available to the [[Sorcerer]].  It is a byproduct of using other skills. This guide explains all you need to know about {{PAGENAME}}.

If you have points in certain active or passive skills orbs of {{PAGENAME}} are generated when killing or damaging an enemy. Walk over these orbs to collect up to 12 and they will display above your experience bar (see image below).  Each orb fills 3 Crackling Energy slots. If you already have 12 and walk over an orb the orb will disappear but you will still only have 12. 

When an enemy comes within range of you the Crackling Energy you have collected will automatically discharge inflicting Shock damage.

The collected Crackling Energy does not expire, it is either discharged on enemies or disappears when you go back to town.

As well as inflicting 20% of your base damage Crackling Energy can conjure a [[Lightning Spear]] and increase its damage, provide [[Mana]] and <span class='white'>reduce the cooldown</span> of your <span class='white'>Shock Skills</span> if points are placed in the appropriate skills.  Through items its damage can be significantly increased, <span class='white'>movement speed</span> can be increased and <span class='white'>Lightning Novas</span> can be generated.

Below are details of the skills and items that can boost Crackling Energy.
