As we know all too well, Lightning Can Do Anything. Concurrently, electricity has many uses; one of these manifold uses is a natural taser. This trope refers to the tendency for electricity (most especially in Video Games) to serve as a stunning mechanism. If a person can summon/harness lightning or electricity, chances are someone hit with it with be stunned, with arcs flowing across their body. Water is basically a giant taser trap waiting to be sprung by the proper application of an electric shock. Additionally, victims of said tasing with often cry out spasmodically before falling in a heap, in order to properly convey the force of the incapacitating blast.

Related to Shock and Awe, as most of the Electric weaponry related therein would carry this effect. In SF literature after about 1955 you are much more likely to encounter a Sonic Stunner. Since then Static Stun Guns have been primarily a visual-media trope. A Static Stun Gun can be considered a subtrope of Stun Gun, because both kinds of weapons have the ability to incapacitate. It's just that the former is explicitly mentioned to be lightning-driven while the latter can use something else besides electricity to do the same job. Examples of Static Stun Gun include:
