As with most fantasy games, magic plays a large role in Baldur's Gate 3, be it during exploration or in combat. To be expected for a game that adapts the magic system within Dungeons and Dragons, Baldur's Gate 3 boasts a wide selection of arcane schools and damage types. Of all the damage types, lightning may be one of the most visually striking and visceral, leaving a player's enemies obliterated and smoldering.
