FILAMENTARY PLASMA DISCHARGE

What it is: High-pressure, constricted arcs. 

The plasma channels current into thin, writhing snakes because the gas resists the flow.

Visuals: Sharp, distinct lines. 

Branching "trees." 

Fast movement.

Physics: Thermal constriction (Arc Discharge). 

The center of the channel gets hot, conducting electricity better than the cool gas around it, creating a self-sustaining "wire" of plasma.

The Vibe: Energetic, Aggressive, "Tesla.".
