Lightning Trap is an active skill that can be taught to Sorcerers at level 28 and can be ranked up at later levels.

Lightning Trap can be performed with a disc by the Sorcerer to deal AoE stun effect. This makes it great for making combos with other skills that deal great damage but have high cast times, such as Arcane Pulse and Fireblast.

Damage dealt varies dependent on skill rank.
