Only thing dumber than a mechanical engineer is an electrical engineer trying to design a housing.
You want to understand the deep magic, talk to electricians and technicians.

Lightning would be wild magic
Makes sense. Could be harnessed to do something probably but incredibly dangerous to do so.
Said it before and I'll say it again: just because you understand the magic doesn't make it any less magical. A wizard may know the ins and outs of their spells, but they're still spells. Our entire universal is fucking magical, we just happen to have a decent understanding of why (some) of it functions the way it does. Jiggle a quark here and another may jiggle the same way somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, that's fucking wild and magical and incredible, and just because we have some level of understanding behind the mechanics doesn't make it not magic. It just makes it a hard magic system.

It's chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.
Also, that's a control spell, not a summoning one.
that's crazy to think about. which NT is responsible for sending a signal along my vagus nerve to my brain? what NTs regulate the functions of the sympathetic nervous system? how can transport as quickly as my body reacts? I need to know more!
how quickly do NTs even travel? it feels like electricity because it's nearly instantaneous! how do they do that so fast???
it feels like electricity because itβs nearly instantaneous!
It takes hundreds of ms for a signal to go from your brain to your foot. Electricity on wires travels several times around the world in that time.
But for most of the distance the signals do travel as electricity. (At least the ones that get to be electricity, our brain has several kinds of signals.) It's just a particularly slow form of electricity.
