electrical damage

Fried wiring aftermath

Electrical damage is harm caused by electricity—whether from lightning strikes, power surges, faulty wiring, or electrocution.

Insurance policies often distinguish electrical damage from other types: The fire was caused by electrical damage to the wiring.

In gaming and fantasy contexts, electrical damage is a damage type dealt by lightning spells or shock attacks.
