Fun Fact: Shocking Grasp is a first level arcane (as in sorcerer and wizard) spell in D&D that requires the caster to touch an opponent to get the effect. As sorcerers and wizards are very squishy (having few hp per level), people rarely pick said spell. It's basically one of the weakest damage dealing spells in the game because of it, and the spellcaster will nearly always pick Magic Missile over this.

It's funny they made it a blue cantrip.

Different trope. Lethal joy buzzer. Butyea, it's like that black magkc spell in ghe original Final Fantasy that boosts the user's attack. Just why?

At least being a cantrip makes it somewhat useful here.
