And a boisterous, jovial, irrepressible form it is! As jolly as a favorite uncle, he injects every scene with crackling energy. But it was not always thus, and there was tragedy in his creation. Generations ago, in the plains beyond the Wailing Mountains, a good people lay starving in drought and famine. A simple elementalist, Thunderkeg by name, used a forbidden spell to summon the spirit of the storm, asking for rain. Enraged at this mortal⃢₀ₙs presumption, the Storm Celestial known as Raijin lay waste to the land, scouring it bare with winds and flood. Thunderkeg was no match for the Celestial--at least until he cast a suicidal spell that forged their fates into one: he captured the Celestial in the cage of his own body. Trapped together, Thunderkeg`s boundless good humor fused with Raijin`s crazed energy, creating the jovial Raijin Thunderkeg, a Celestial who walks the world in physical form. |

Static Remnant creates an immobile clone of himself that, upon contact with an enemy, shocks all enemies in a small area for damage. It has a very low cooldown, making it a good farming skill. Electric Vortex binds an enemy to himself, drawing it in slowly; at higher levels of the skill, it will always be able to pull the target into a Static Remnant.

Recommended items
Starting items:
- Tango and Healing Salve are generally recommended basic regen items in most situations.
- Clarity allows Storm Spirit to replenish his mana in the laning stage. It can be useful for allowing Storm Spirit to use Static Remnant one or two more times.
- Mantle of Intelligence and Circlet provide good stats, especially to intelligence for increased base damage. In particular, the two items build towards a Null Talisman, which give Storm Spirit a number of useful bonuses.
Early game:
- Magic Stick can give Storm Spirit a quick burst of mana and health when needed. This can help give Storm the extra bit he needs to survive and escape a gank, or enough to cast one more spell to finish off a foe.
- Boots of Speed are important on all heroes as early as possible. For Storm Spirit, the ability to outmaneuver his lane opponent is crucial to victory.
- Null Talisman gives Storm Spirit a good balance of stats, most importantly intelligence and damage for more mana and last-hitting power. Depending on the situation, two Null Talismans can be useful for giving Storm good early stats.
Core items:
- Magic Wand is a cheap upgrade from Magic Stick which provides very cost effective attributes, as well as additional burst HP and mana regen.
