Lightning

Lightning, or Electricity was an Element in the Matoran Universe involving electricity.

Examples

 * Creating electricity.
 * Shocking/paralyzing opponents with lightning.
 * Firing lightning bolts.
 * Creating a defensive shield of lightning.
 * Controlling electricity.
 * Absorbing electricity.
 * Utilizing chain lightning.
 * Unleashing a Lightning Nova Blast. (Toa exclusive)
 * Resistance to electrical shocks also comes with this Element.

Combinations
It has been confirmed by Greg Farshtey that beings other than Toa cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage. It has also been confirmed that as long as each of them wields a different Element, any six Toa can create a Protodermis cage.

Example Usage
In the Bohrok-Kal Online Animations, Tahnok-Kal used his power to trap an unknown Ta-Matoran inside an electrical cage.
