>>#3, >>#1, Well, that's kind of right, but not there yet. A lichtenberg figure is the image created if you take insulation materials and run electricity through them. The branches represent the discharge through different paths as the electricity tries to get the least resistance throughout. The figure itself is just comprised of discharge branching, but it can only occur in insulators because conductors wouldn't resist enough to change shape for it. **** is pretty cool, and sometimes you can create special pictures if you can control it right, but that's very hard to do.
