== Acquisition ==
'''[[Signet of Capture]]'''
* [[Factions]]
** [[Kunvie Firewing]] ([[Unwaking Waters (explorable area)]])
* [[Eye of the North]]
** [[Thraexis Thundermaw]] ([[Grothmar Wardowns]])

== Notes ==
* The blindness is applied to foes adjacent to the target, not the user's initial location.
* This skill is mechanically the same as a [[shadow step]].
* This skill (and its PvP version) is the only shadow step skill able to move the user to any target regardless of whether the target is a foe or ally.

== Trivia ==
*The functionality of this skill has changed since its introduction; see its [[Ride the Lightning/Skill history|PvE skill history]] and [[Ride the Lightning (PvP)/Skill history|PvP skill history]] for details.
* This skill is a reference to the album and/or song by [[w:Ride_the_lightning|Metallica]]. The band chose that name to describe the [[w:electric chair|electric chair]].
