Thanks Sam. I do not want to imagine what the /real/ stuff was like, but 
I guess this scene slightly approaches it.

Yes, that is a good idea.

The original macro uses an emissive media inside the bolt /and/ point 
lights at each bend with controllable fade_distance and fade_power. I am 
not sure what would be more effective: increase fade_distance, or 
increase the light intensity, or the emission color. I have to test some 
more.
