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, whereas Grindelwald's curse was small, directed at an opponent, and didn't seem to be a show of extraordinary power (it even looks somewhat different, with lots of visible crackling a la Palpatine, unlike the Lighting Spell's focused stream). 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.

- …True. But not the point. What do you think of my main argument? Scrooge MacDuck (talk) 15:17, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
