Description 

This usually was an offensive power, channeled through the user's hands that could induce varying degrees of damage but it also could be concentrated to manipulate electronic devices and technology.

  • This first happened after Glory brain-sucked Tara Maclay and an angry Willow attacked with her with lightning that appeared have caused the hell goddess actual pain but no real injuries and only seemed to slow her down.
  • The second was when she became a dark witch after the death of Tara, Willow demonstrated the ability to emit storm-like lightning bolts which would also manifest while flying and when she imbued herself with superior physical attributes, suggesting that this form of electrokinesis was associated with dark magic. With this power, Willow released a slight discharge of electricity at Anya Jenkins to back her off and then twice at Buffy Summers andXander Harris to stop them following her. This only slightly immobilized them and didn't cause harm but did push Buffy and Xander down the second time. When on the hunt for Andrew Wells and Jonathan Levinson, Willow shot Anya Jenkins with these bolts which pushed ber back. Willow then tried to blast Andrew and Jonathan  but they were protected by a spell conjured by Anya. After finding Anya and knocking her unconscious, Willow electrocuted Buffy which did knock her back but didn't do any substantial damage and did the same after the arrival of Rupert Giles. Willow later shot Xander with a slight jolt of electricity when he tried to convince her not to end the world and this only pushed him back.
