Therefore I think it must either be that the spell allows a caster to summon lightning bolts within 120 range of themself regardless of how far (or planar, or through time) they move from their initial cast in the 10 minute duration, as stated above regardless of how absurd it seems, While not as logically absurd as being able to cast lightning bolts from a completely different plane, adding 120 range from any point within a natural storm (including it’s outer edges) makes far more sense than 120 range from epicenter especially when a natural storm could be much larger than that 120 range. The logical conclusion from this interpretation when coupled with the rest of the spell which reads “if you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast the spell, you take control of that storm instead” would then follow that if a 20 mile radius storm over the ocean during naval combat (for example) took place, the druid would have unlimited range for all intents and purposes, being limited only by a spot they could identify within the storm’s range.
#Call lightning 5e questions plus
My translation of the spell as written was that the stormcloud is intended to be stationary, and that any point within the cloud was where the range began, allowing for 120 range plus the cloud’s 60ft radius for 180 ft range in all directions from the initial cast epicenter.
