Electrification

Electrification is a Quirk used by Denki Kaminari.

Description
Electrification gives Denki the ability to charge in electricity and emit it out of his body as a sort of protective aura that electrocutes anyone through contact.

When using his Quirk, Denki gains a defense mechanism that shocks those who touch him. If he emits enough electricity, it automatically discharges in all directions, shocking anyone close to him, regardless of contact. Due to this being a light-based Quirk, it has a natural advantage against Fumikage's Dark Shadow.

It is, however, possible to protect oneself from his electricity through insulation material. This also makes him vulnerable to Quirks that don't conduct electricity like Vines or even other electric-type Quirks.

Usage
Due to the volatile nature of Electrification, Denki is not capable of directing the energy he releases, putting any allies at risk should they be near him if he unleashes his power, so he frequently holds back in combat. Thanks to the efforts of Mei Hatsume and Power Loader, however, Denki's costume has received an extra piece of equipment that allows him to fire projectiles which can stick themselves to surfaces and attract his released electricity, shocking only those within a direct line between them and Denki.

If Denki exceeds his wattage limit, he short-circuits his own brain, turning into an useless, grinning idiot for an one-hour period and being unable to activate his Quirk, or even defend himself in anyway, until he recovers, although he does appear to retain minimal awareness of his surroundings. In this state, he becomes harmless and thus easier to defeat, capture or hold hostage.

Denki can also use his electricity to activate or charge electronics, like the radio headset he uses in his hero costume or the batteries of various electric devices. While this makes Denki useful for his schoolmates to have around, he does not appear to be entirely comfortable with the idea of being treated like a living charger.
