Mask of Lightning

The Mask of Lightning was an Elemental Kanohi that afforded the user rudimentary control over the Elemental Power of Lightning, allowing them to create bursts if electrical energy. Notably, the Kanohi did not permit the bearer the ability to absorb or manipulate Lightning or boost the existing Elemental Powers of a Toa of Lightning.

History
The Mask of Lightning traces its origins back to later waves of mask-making discovered in the centuries after the Awakening, where an unclear number of Elemental Kanohi were crafted from Elementally-charged Toa Disks by Artakha. Greatly favored and sought after by the Matoran populace, only a handful of these Elemental Kanohi came into circulation given the rarity of Elemental Kanoka, which were most commonly produced as a byproduct of a Matoran's conversion into a Toa. A very limited number of newly-transformed Toa willingly parted ways with their Toa Disks, further restricting the number of Elemental Kanohi. As such, very few Masks of Lightning were known to exist in the entire Matoran Universe, the exact number being somewhat of a guarded secret by Toa and avid collectors alike.

From its earliest inception, the Mask of Lightning became heavily associated with Ta-Matoran as the manifestation of their Elemental discipline.

It is suspected that there are currently no Masks or Toa Disks of Lightning and as such, there are no living Toa known to bear Masks of Lightning.
