''' | {{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|避雷針 ひらいしん ''hiraishin'' "Lightning Rod"}} {{altname|Spire}} is a [[Tech]] used by [[Crono]] and [[Frog]] in {{CT}}. [[Guile]], in {{CC}}, 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 {{w|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.) | |||
