A Shockblade is a Electromancer that has trained long and hard to be able to fight in melee, but not as a typical fighter, they have honed their electrical prowess to be able to deliver electrically charged attacks through their chosen weapon. Using the natural process of electro to discharge through a metallic object, the Shockblade pre-emptively builds the charge for it to release on contact, delivering maximum damage as there is no loss of power from passing through the air.
Shockblades need a weapon that uses a core of conductive metal, so prioritise swords and polearms, as weapons with wooden handles or shafts can not conduct on impact. Custom made weapons can be made to hold a conductive core and a energy store, the two components kept insulated from each other except when required, as such the Shockblade learns to work alongside a bladesmith.
