Lightning Rod is a Tech used by Crono and Frog in Chrono Trigger. Guile, in Chrono Cross, performs a similar tech called LightninRod, using a Light-based Element and his primary weapon, the Rod.
Description
As Crono summons Lightning II; Frog preforms Aerial Strike. However Frog leaves his sword in the enemy; which acts as a current into which the enemy receives a large bolt of lightning and the enemy glows white.
Etymology
The lightning rod was invented by Benjamin Franklin during the 1700's. The basis behind it is that metal attracts the lightning to strike it, and then sends the current into the ground where it essentially becomes useless. However any metallic object is a good conductor of electricity and therefore Frog's sword(s) are legitimate conductors, and since Crono can control lightning its quite possible that he can direct it so that it ignores his own sword, or any other tall objects (trees, buildings, etc.)
