Oh hello friend. Welcome to the association of the thaumaturgically removed amputee club. Take a seat, you won't be standing much longer.

Oops, my bad Mr. Ork!  I should paint my bow red for MORE DAKKA.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

Maybe electrocuting myself isn't the best strategy?

This. Much yes.

Also:

MORE NECROSIS MIST! MORE GENTLE PATTING WITH SPIKY THING!

Truth be told, it isn't actually working out all that badly, it's just not very effective.

Dead weight? No. It is more like deadly weight. It is actively trying to kill you. Have fun.

You certainly are specialized in lightning magic, but to be effective you should have probably put a point in pot. You know, so that this doesn't happen.

Also, I'm regretting the mechanics of failures in hazardous materials. But the other option could even be somewhat exploity.

Actually, if you're not hurting yourself, giving someone a bearhug then zapping yourself is a plausible move.

Yeah, no. The main point of the mechanics I'm trying to use for a failed lightning is "You only zap yourself". Because that could get exploity like that.

Yeah, I already tried that and it didn't work.

Yes, I got that, i understand it's trying to kill me. Thus why I am going to kill it, making it dead weight.

Okay, what if I get spiky metal piercings and stab them into someone, then electrocute myself?

More like if you are totally made of metal. And that is actually detrimental to your own possibilities of resisting electricity. So no, no exploiting game mechanics!
