Lightning Whip

The Lightning Whip is truly mean weapon, as it can be used to torture people for a long time before death. It appears in  Ultima VII and  Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
A normal whip has a long range, but it isn't a very powerful weapon against any kind of foe. This was also known to the fighters of Britannia, and so they decided to get their battle-whips enhanced by magic. Enchanted with electrical magic, the Lightning Whip more than doubles in sheer power, shocking the enemy with every hit with a strong electric charge. Lightning Whips are now somewhat rare these days, having mostly fallen out of use.

Trivia

 * Due to the generally weaker weapons in Ultima VII Part Two, the Lightning Whip actually is one of the strongest weapons in that game.
 * Many didn't realize that these whips in Ultima VII are special, since the item graphic is very unseeming (looking like a tangled rope). This was changed for Ultima VII Part Two, to make the weapon stand out more.
