MC gains power from electricity

Updated:

I'm trying to find a story I read years ago, where the MC discovers that electricity gives him powers. He often sits in front of an outlet to recover/meditate/recharge. He, at one point, gets a charge from a transformer, I want to say it was at school. Greatly increasing his powers.

There was a love interest who was a girl neighbor with a broken back and he helps her heal, I think.

He or his neighbor had horses, again... I think.

Anyway, if the story rings a bell with you, I'd love to hear about it.

TIA,
-Spook

Curious, I wonder if Reluctant_Sir read that story before writing https://storiesonline.net/s/21729/magic-101 - the MC in that story (Hank) has an affinity to power, including electrical power, and helps his (male) mentor recover from a broken back.

Funny, I just re-read that story a few weeks ago. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. A good read.

I seem to remember that one of Ernest Bywaters stories had the main character touching an electrical panel. It results in him ending up in the hospital but with ESP abilities. Sorry don't remember the name.

The closest EB story to the description is Interesting Times. The MC was involved in an incident at school with maintenace ongoing with the power still on.

Abother possibility is Hal, the Beginning, which exists in two versions, pre- and post- legal troubles. The MC is unconscious in a truck struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.

The Spark involves (among many other things) the protagonist "juicing"athletes. Another story has the same theme, but the power is magic-based. It's Set Fire to the Rain by ElSol. ElSol has another(magic-based) story (that doesn't involve "juicing") titled "The Power." rlfj also has a story called "the Power" that involves mind-control abilities in a teen developed after the guy gets injured in a car accident. Just suggestions for the reading pleasure of others who like The Spark.

Ok, so I don't have to start a thread, whats the name if the story (think its been removed) about a boy who thinks he is invisible till he get struck by kightning 7 or 8 times causung extreme eye sensitivity? Last I saw it was being reworked for too young charactors. He also could draw and control eletricity and lightning

Yup. It started quite promising, but very fast deteriorated into farce of itself. And yes, he kept pushing it too young, rather unnecessary at that.
