=== Electricity, Man's Power of Reason === Since the fall of the Primordial Seas one curse has hounded the Wicked Tribe like no other. Electricity. The legends of the Tribe are numerous and contradictory: The most common tale puts a mythical source to the Tribe's bane, the lightning bolt has long been a symbol of sky gods such as Zeus, Jehovah and Marduk. Mythologically inclined Leviathans are quick to note the common theme of such gods defeating a primordial being to claim the heavens. Some go as far as to propose lighting was the literal weapon Marduk used to slay Tiamat and the scars have never healed. Other legends speak of men, not gods. Though to hear them told you might find it hard to tell the two apart. In these stories the fall of the Primordial is inseparable from Man's ascent to reason and dominion over the natural world; a change symbolised by electricity. The force of the gods tamed by science and the beating heart of civilisation. Some of the tribe prefer a more materialistic explanation. The Ichor coursing through the Tribe's veins makes them as conductive as the sea water they call home. Through this the tribe becomes vulnerable to electricity. Regardless of which story a Leviathan believes the facts remain constant: electricity does Aggravated damage to the Wicked Tribe and ignores any Armour or Durability granted by Vestiges. Electricity-based Bashing damage isn't quite as deadly: Leviathans only convert half the Bashing Damage to Aggravated Damage. Hybrids arenβt as vulnerable, electricity bypasses any natural Armour but has no other effects.
