But what about electricity?
Admittedly, this could get kind of crazy, with wuxia characters potentially shooting out electricity as if they were Darth Sidious from STAR WARS or Thor from Marvel Comics, but considering that electrical current exists within the human body (in the form of nervous system transmissions), it would be kind of cool if some wuxia character had some limited capacity to use electrical power as a kind of weapon, just as some of them already use wind, fire, and water/ice.
