Each of these wide, faintly glowing bracers is made of four thin, rectangular quartz crystals joined by narrow silver bands.

A set of bracers of lightning allows you to charge your melee and ranged weapon attacks with electricity. When you activate the bracers, they visibly crackle with electricity for 1 round. During this time, your melee and ranged attacks gain the shock property. Even your melee touch attacks deal this extra electricity damage.
A druid can activate this item while in wild shape.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, call lightning, possession of a piece of the set.
