A storm caster moves at the [player](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Player)'s [sprinting](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Sprinting) speed and slowly floats to the ground, taking no fall damage.

Storm casters attack [players](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Player), adult [villagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager), [iron golems](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Iron_golem) and [wandering traders](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wandering_trader) within 16 blocks by waving their [staff](../../items/wand-and-staffs/storm-staff).

If a storm caster is attacked, all storm casters in a 16 block radius become alerted and start attacking the player, even if they are behind walls.

A storm caster is passive to other [illagers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Illager) even if it is harmed. Any storm caster can search for and join a [patrol](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Patrol) if sufficiently near a [patrol captain](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Patrol_captain).

Storm casters are faster without any [effects](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect) during raids.

Storm casters take 85% less damage from shock attacks.

Storm casters are given 3 seconds of the [Glowing](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Glowing) effect if a [bell](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Bell) is rung within 32 blocks of them and affected by [hook bells](../../blocks/hook-bell).

### Summon Monsoon Clouds

Storm casters will wave their staff and summon a monsoon cloud above their target's head, which will periodically shoot thunderbolts to any non-allied entities underneath it. Any water-sensitive entities beneath the cloud will take damage.

### Shock

<figure><img src="https://2414939781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMasRWrNXBUTekbN0j7Ao%2Fuploads%2FWUh74U3s9oxzllFbgX0O%2FShock.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=32f5aa6e-11cf-4b61-9d83-36dfb8af6e5a" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Shocking a target</p></figcaption></figure>

Storm casters will [shoot electric currents](../../items/magic-focus/shocking-focus) at their target, if they have visual sight on them with no obstruction, for a small amount of time.

### Discharge

<figure><img src="https://2414939781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMasRWrNXBUTekbN0j7Ao%2Fuploads%2FmcjwpVGATiUKJMDPV9CP%2FDischarge.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=b2c2b258-b896-428c-ba80-ffac5c41cc40" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Summon a discharge</p></figcaption></figure>

If a target goes within 4 blocks of a storm caster, they will let loose an electrical shockwave that deals 6 - 12 shock damage and knocks back all nearby non-allied mobs. If the storm caster is in a thunder storm, the damage increases and the discharge have a 25% chance of spawning a lightning bolt.

## Trivia

* Storm Casters are said to either be [Geomancers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Dungeons:Geomancer) or [Wind Callers](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Dungeons:Wind_Caller) that decided to use storm magic on the Black Book.
  * The reason why Storm Casters could came from Geomancers is a reference to Minecraft Dungeons' [Lightning Rod](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Dungeons:Lightning_Rod)'s description stating that it was made by Geomancers trying to harness the power of the skies.
  * Their relation to Wind Callers can be seen by their similar animations and ability to float.
* Storm Casters can be seen as Goety's version of the Wind Caller.
