	~~When a dominion's castle has been damaged~~ by [[Magic\|lightning]], the ~~dominion gains a temporary bonus to investing. Each investment point, after applying standard bonuses such as racial or tech, is worth 2 points.~~		The maximum amount of damage that can be dealt by [[Magic\|lightning]] is based on the total amount invested during the round.

	~~Example: a dominion has 30 million points~~ invested and loses 1 million points due to lightning. While the dominion's castle is below its all-time high of 30 million points, investment is doubled. That is, only 500k points, after standard bonuses, are needed to recoup the ~~1 million lost points~~.
