Talk:Lightning spell

Grindelwald's use
While both spells resemble a lightning bolt, it seems unlikely to me that the "lightning spell" used by Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts is the same as this one. This one is grand in scale and seems to replicate a true bolt of lightning (albeit in reverse), whereas Grindelwald's curse was small, directed at an opponent, and didn't seem to be a show of extraordinary power. It is possible that the Lightning spell is an overpowered version of Grindelwald's curse, but it's far from a natural assumption to make. I think Grindelwald's curse should have its own page.
