You need to use lightning. Overkill much?

[But if they were face-to-face, she would see this statement comes with a laugh and a slightly manic grin rather than anything like judgment or disgust.]

A surge protector would combat sudden bursts of electricity, but it ten billion percent defeats the purpose of wanting to make use of it.

I'd try a modified lightning rod.

Most people are aware of a lightning rod as a piece of metal that draws in lightning strikes, but they don't always think about what happens next. When the rod is on top of a building, wires lead the electricity safely down to the ground instead of through the structure.

You could use surface area to your benefit again and make the lightning pass from a rod into a maze of wires so it doesn't turn a single toe into charcoal and leave everything else still clucking.
